I brew a mini mash Newcastle Brown Ale today:
2.5 lb 2-row
6 oz Crystal 90L
3 oz Chocolate
3.5 lb Extra pale extract
1 lb Corn sugar
1 oz Fuggle (60 min)
0.25 oz Kent Golding (15 min)
The instructions sheet says that the gravity should be around 1.050, but I measured only 1.032. Did it twice, the same result. Yes, I considered the temperature. And now I am wondering: what lowered my gravity? Could it be a typo on the sheet? Another question is the fermentation temperature. I set it so far for 68 degrees - is it OK?
