So, I'm new to partial mashing and I decided to do something simple, a bitter. The OG I ended up with is 1.038 (60*) which feels pretty low to me, and I'm wondering if I should do something radical about it like put a couple more pounds of DME in there once fermentation's started. Here's my recipe. Maybe you can tell me what I did wrong/tell me to relax.
3# UK 2-row base malt
.25# British crystal malt
.75# Biscuit malt
1# brown candi sugar
3# Amber DME
-----
1 oz N.Brewer @60
.5 oz US fuggles @40
1 oz NB @20
1.5 oz US fuggles @5
I mashed at about 154*
