Hello I'm brewing John Palmer's Cincinatti Pale Ale recipe from his book.
I guess I got confused due to the author listing ingredients by their weight, while my LHB sells by volume.
Anyway, after going through the boil and pitching the yeast, I dropped the hydrometer into the sample tube and took the reading.
It turned out to 1.035 instead of the required 1.045.
Is there anything I can do? Should I just leave it or should I heat up some more malt extract and stir it into the fermenter?
Any advice appreciated.
