... wait... should I be using extract?
graemhoek said:My OG was a little low. Given I didn't know what conversion was and I only boiled my mash for about 2 hours that might explain it... crap. Well... I'm looking forward to some watery honey weiss.... live and learn.
Maybe I can add some extract before I add my yeast... when my wort cools enough. Would that be silly? (I am quite silly)

Thanks for the hints. I need it.
graemhoek said:... and my OG was 1.025. I had anticipated closer to 1.0.... crap. I gotta go find my notes. Leave it to a biochemist to screw up a brewers work.
graemhoek said:I just checked the OG... its 1.035. I HATE that water is most dense at 4 degrees C. Anyways its cool enough so I added my yeast. Here's to beer.

Oh... I also have celiac's disease so everything I brew is made with buckwheat, oats, sorghum, and other non-glutenous malted grains.
