I am brewing a Torpedo Extra IPA clone, basically http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/207091/torpedo-extra-ipa-sierra-nevada
Not same exact recipe though. My recipe states I should have a 1.068 Pre Boil Gravity, and at 165 Degrees my gravity was 1.033. With temp adjustment, it looks ok.
While putting into the fermenter though, I checked OG and got 1.052, while the recipe states I should have 1.081- way off!
Do I try to correct, or let it ride? Been in fermenter for a few hours now, since 7 PM ET on 1/21/17.
One note- I drained wort into fermenter which was like 4 gallons. Then I added my 2L yeast starter, and finished off with about a gallon of H20, which put me at slightly over 5 gallons. When I added the yeast and water, it seperated the beer a bit... and when I poured out some to test OG, I got most of the top stuff. So I have a feeling my OG reading is off.
What to do? Try to add DME to correct, or let it go?
