Hey all-
Kind of an embarrassing question that I should know the answer to, but since I'm not currently taking hydrometer readings (due to only brewing 1 gallon batches and doing a primary fermentation for 3-4 weeks), what actually happens if you don't hit your OG?
I've read here and there where people "dump it out?" Seriously? Please correct me if this is not the case, but other than just "achieving success" in following the recipe exactly, is it that bad not hitting OG? Will your beer taste like garbage?
