Hello everyone,
I bought a brewmagic about a month ago and have been brewing like mad. I also purchased beersmith for my laptop to assist in my brewing. I have brewed four batches of beer now and none have hit the calculated OG's from beersmith. In fact, I am usually off by a tenth or more on each one. For example, I build a recipe in beersmith and it says my OG should be 1.05. I take my hydrometer reading at 60 degrees and I get 1.039. Very frustrating. It's not off by a consistent amount either. I am mashing in at the specified temps with the specified water volumes. Any thoughts? So far, all my beers are very watery and bland. Frustrated. Thanks for any feedback.
