I brewed this recipe yesterday and my OG was only 1.062. The only thing I can think happened was I didn't steep grains long/hot enough. Held steeping temp. at 150, but I started the clock while I was bringing the water up to temp. This OG shouldn't make a big difference should it? I did have a little higher than normal final volume, about 5.5 gals due to starter, and not as much boiloff. Thanks in advance.
