I brewed a Holiday Ale today and when I went to get the original gravity, the hydrometer read that it was 1.050. It was suppossed to be between 1.070 and 1.078. I couldnt get a proper temperature reading because I put my thermometer in sanitizing solution and it leaked, now the dial is full of water. I do have one of those stick on thermometers on the fermenting bucket and it looks like it reads 64 degrees. So what could cause my OG to be off by so much?
