So the last few brews I have been doing, according to BeerSmith, I have been missing my OG by around 10 points every time. Ten points on the low end.
I realized the first few times, maybe I didn't use enough sparge water, but this last time, I used quite a bit, and boiled for over two hours and still missed my OG by ten points. Here is the last recipe.
