Ok, so I've only done extract recipes, but someone bought me a AG recipe, so I figured I would give it a try. The recipe was an American Pale Ale. The grain was 6lbs Light Munich and 2lbs Caramunich. I mashed with 10 2/3 Quarts of water at 158 for 40 minutes. Then mashed out at 170. Sparged with 4 gallons at 170. Then boiled for 60 minutes adding hops as instructed. The target SG was 1.045 but my OG was 1.016!? I admit I probably did not mill the grain enough. Is that my only problem? Or am I doing something else wrong. I am still a noob. Also I had already started the yeast so I pitched it anyway (following advice on this board to never throw away a brew). It has been in the primary for 3 days and mostly stopped fermenting about one bubble every 2 minutes. Can I add some DME in a secondary. Help, please.
