I am brewing a 5 gal English Bitter by Coopers homebrew as my first batch. My OG was 1.032. I looked all over the instructions and no original gravity is given to make sure I'm on track. Does anyone know if this is a reasonable OG?

Is it an ordinary bitter, a special bitter or an ESB?
My ordinary bitter has an OG of 1.035.
Style guidelines state an OG of 1.032-1.040 for an ordinary bitter.

I have the BJCP style guide app for my phone, it is quite useful for quick refrences like this!
My EB (cooper's international series) had an OG of 1.038. You're ok. Maybe just didn't mix chilled wort & top off enough? I thought the same about mine at that point. Wasn't used to lower gravity ales. But the color/flavor was pretty darn good.
