So, I once again submit myself to the collective wisdom of the Beer Forum! You (the group) have been invaluable in troubleshooting a number of issues I have had around fermentation and carbonation, now I return to request your assistance in understanding why the OG on my final product differs from the OG forecasted in my recipe generator. I had one recent brew that we used a sparge calculator on, built in the grain time and strike temperatures, boiled for the prescribed time and ended up with exactly the desired 5 gal however my forecasted OG was 1.068 and it infact was 1.062!
Any ideas why this occurs? Am I burning off to many sugars in the boil? Do I need a richer grain bill? Am I completely off the mark?
Any advice is, as always, greatly appreciated!
