Thus far, I've brewed two beers from their kits, a robust porter, and most recently, a pumpkin spice porter.
In both beers, I've come up short on ABV. The robust called for 5.0-5.5%, it turned out in the upper 4s (I think). The pumpkin spice porter called for 5.0-6.0%, it looks like it's going to end up in the low-mid 4s.
Is this a common thing with these kits, or am I doing something wrong? I'm not adding too much water, as my wort has been less than 5 gallons each time. Any rookie mistakes I could be making?
