I have a recipe that I will be brewing on Saturday, but I have a question about its style. The bitterness, SRM and FG are right for the style I had planned, but the OG and therefor the ABV are lower than the BJCP style guidelines say they should be. The OG is calculated to be 1.037 and the ABV is calculated at 3.54%. The guidelines say they should be, at a minimum, 1.045 and 4.5% respectively. How much will these deviations actually affect the style of beer that comes out? Thanks. It's an american amber ale, by the way.
