Jaehnig said:So my pumpkin ale O.G. was a little lower than my projected 1.065 and ended up at 1.050 or so. My yeast starter was pretty intense and the airlock looks like boiling water! Will this mean I will get a dry beer with a higher AbV?
It is still "boiling" currently. It's pretty cool.

If your OG actually was lower as in a full boil with no top off or an AG recipe then the lower OG means lower ABV, not higher
Thank you. Now I don't have to ask next time. Much appreciated. Unfortunately no home brews until this one is all set! I had a GLBC Burning River though!
Just place tin foil over the opening? And yes I used an airlock on my starter.
Go Yoopers!
Dang, thanks for the info. Luckily my yeast seems to be doing a fantastic job! My starter didn't fair too badly, there looked to be plenty in there.
Next brew I'll use tin foil. Love having this forum.
