I just brewed my first batch of english pale ale and first id like to say that i bought a recipe kit that had everything i needed and all the directions plain as day. it started fermenting within 24 hours after pitching and only lasted 2 days. i checked the gravity then and again after a week and it was the same so i bottled it. but the alcohol content is lower than what the kit says it should be. The starting O.G. is 35 and end gravity is 11 so ABV% is 3. this kit says it should be between 4% and 4.5% Why is my beer so low in alcohol content not that it matters much i just want to know if i did something wrong or if its just something that happens???
