Very new to home brewing have much more experience on the consumption side... Still brewing from the "box mix" recipes until I figure out what I'm doing.
Here's my concern: OG measured at 1.13; recipe instructions indicated 1.09 was the target... Is that a lot off or a little off? I have a basic knowledge of specific gravity (and I mean very basic). Does this mean that I didn't add enough water to the wort after the boil? How do I get on target?
Followed everything to the letter, steeping, boiling, bitter hopping, flavor hopping, etc.
I'm not sure what all you need to know to respond accurately, but will stay tuned for help.
Thank you in advance for the help!
