i just finished brewing my first beer ever. i was doing a pale ale. i did everything the instructions said and my O.G. which is specific gravity? is at 1.020. what does this mean is my beer gonna be water or what? i dont know much about brewing, any ideas would help. i started steeping at 160 degrees and it did drop down to 148 for maybe 5 mins before i got it back up to 155.i added the DME and half the hops after steeping and had a low boil going stirring every 5 mins for 50 mins. added some irish moss and the rest of the hops and boiled for another 6 mins. did i do something wrong in the process?
thanks for any advice
