Sorry if there are a million threads on this...
I have about 9 extract batches under my belt, and while I am very happy with most of my brews, I almost always miss my O.G. I use Brewer's Friend (which is great) for my recipes.
I have an 8 gallon pot, with spigot, so I chill to 70, then take a sample from the spigot before emptying pot into carboy. Wort should be reasonably mixed.
Is it my boil? I do a full boil, and I usually start with 6-6.5 gallons of water (I may have just answered my own question here). So I don't top off. Too much water? I've noticed I usually have a lot of wort, with not the expected boil off.
Thanks.
