I made my first batch today. It was an ESB, using the following recipe:
Why does the OG seem low?
I steeped the grains in a bag in 170' water for 20 minutes - would I have achieved a higher OG by not using a bag?
I took pretty good notes, but I'm not sure what info may help to diagnose the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
