I'm going over my notes for the beer I've done and there's a trend - most of my beer doesn't end at the estimated ABV. The reason seems to be that I never get to the estimated original gravity of the recipe.
A couple of examples:
Craig's Travelin' Man Ale
Estimated OG - 1.064
My OG - 1.054
Jamil's Hop Jack Pale
EOG - 1.054
MOG - 1.040
Christmas Ale
EOG - 1.055
MOG - 1.040
Belgian Trippel
EOG - 1.075
MOG - 1.060
All of these are at least 5 gallon boils that ended with 4.75 - 5 gal in the fermenter. All of the above are extract kits from my local home home brew store in Los Altos. Does anyone know why I would be coming out low?
