I have read a few times that when extract brewing, always use light malt extract as the base for the beer, then using the steeping grains to, for the lack of a better word, shape the beer. If I wanted to substitute amber, or dark extract with light extract in a recipe, how would i know how to adjust the steeping grains (if needed to at all)?
Also, I started brewing about a month and a half ago and have done about 5 batches, and all of them have been about 7-10 gravity points below what the recipe original gravity recommends. Any suggestions on what might cause the consistent lower original gravity?
