I just started my 2nd batch. I took the OG at 1034 and the kit says it will be done when FG is at approx 1010. Based on my OG, I estimate that the beer will be about 3%. For my first beer that I made a few weeks ago, its OG was 1032 and also ended at about the same FG and thus was 3%.
So what am I doing wrong. I'd using the canned beer kits with the hops and extract already mixed. With these, you just add the extract into 3L hot water and stir, add 1.2kg dextrose and stir, and then fill primary to 23L total with additional water. At that point you stir again and take OG - after that I just add yeast and cover it up.
So why is my OG so low - should I add more sugar????
Thanks
