I have done 2 all grain 1 gallon batches that turned out pretty tasty (didn't have a hydrometer then) now I just did my first 5 gal BIAB following this recipe.

I did add a bit more hops for personal preference at the last 30 mins of the boil. Also had a mishap and spilled a small amount of wort.
My OG came out to be 1.038 instead of the 1.058 the recipe states.
Is the spill the cause for this? Or in the sparging? I even hand pressed the grains a bit in a strainer over a bucket to get out all I could. It's in the fermenter and in gonna finish it to see what that's like.
Is this gonna be a light porter? Low ABV? All of the above? I'll know in a few weeks but wanted some advice from the pros before I start my next one in a few weeks.
