Tried a suggestion from HBT and had interesting results.
I asked in a earlier post about getting the color of German Hefe a little lighter, and a couple of people suggested that I add 1/2 of the DME at the start of the boil and then with 20min left, add the remaining.
This is like my 5th batch of Hefe, and had no problems until I did this. When the wort was cooled and topped to 5gal, the OG was at 1.044 (usually at 1.052). My FG was good before I racked to the bottles. Don't know how it will taste but smelled good.
Anyone know why my OG would be short?
Thanks.
