Ok. I was pretty low on my OG reading after brewing a Porter. Recipe called for OG of 1.061. I a got a 1.046. I had about 3 gallons and added 2+ gallons of bottled water and stirred well. I am not sure why I would be so far off. Temp was 66 degrees F when took the reading. Everything else seemed to go fine. Here is the recipe:
6lbs of golden light liquid extract
1.75 lbs Crystal Malt 40L
0.5 lbs Molasses
3oz Fuggles
Used Nottingham yeast
Steeped grains for 30 mins @ 155 degrees
Boiled 60min.
Any ideas why so low?
Thanks for the help!!
