I made a Beer Meister Pumpkin Ale extract kit.
I put the recipe into Brew Target. I hit the recipe's Original Gravity at 1.056. There were a lot of pumpkin solids in the sample. Does that give incorrect readings for the OG?
Here's the main issue I ran into:
I bottled today and the final gravity was only 1.005. Brew Target and the recipe said I should have been at 1.010-1.016. Did I do something wrong in the recipe? Something wrong in measuring gravity? I made sure to use cooled wort for the OG.
I couldn't upload the Brew Target .xml file in this thread, so it's posted here:

I'm not sure if my notes come across in the exported .xml. If I need to provide more info, let me know and I'll see if I can get it.
Oh, I only ended up bottling 3.5 gallons out of the 5 in the fermenting bucket. I could have found somme more out of the sludge and there was a little left in the bottling bucket - but I think I could have only gotten another 20 ounces or so.
