Hello everyone, This is my first brew and im a little anxious to get at it....The kit claims my OG shouldve been 1.074 mine turned out to be 1.06 at 85 degrees....my FG turned out to be 1.03 at 60 degrees...It fermented for 5 days however the airlock stopped bubbling after three days...the recipe is as follows......

For some reason the 4oz of crushed black patent wasnt included?? My question is if this beer is gonna be okay and what ABV should I expect? Thanks for all your help!
 
did this same kit 2 months ago. My OG was 1.055 and final was 1.015. I did not mix it well enough when adding water. If your FG is 1.035 it is not done yet. Let it sit a few more days and check it again.

Should be alright.
 
Same kit... off OG/FG, taste great still. I'd let it sit in primary for atleast 3weeks+ Took forever to age in bottles for me.
