Hey Guys,
My buddy just thought of something. When we brewed the other day we checked the O.G. on only 2 gallons of wort. We measured it at 1.068 which seemed kind of high for the Dry Irish Stout that we were brewing. We then added 3 gallons of water to the wort.
Now we're thinking that the O.G. is inaccurate because we immediately dilluted the hell out of it with water. So following this logic, (O.G. * 2) / 5 we get an actual O.G. of 1.027.
Does this sound correct? If so, this is looks like its gonna be some weak beer.
