I just did the following recipe.
Followed it exactly except that my LHBS didn't have Coopers extract so I used Muntons.
I started with 3.5gals of water and added 2.5 gals to top off the fermenter. 60 minute boil.
The recipe says SG s/b 1.052 but I got 1.042.
Is there that much difference in the two LME's? Or did I muff up somewhere else?
