First Batch-grand cru

[buhess]

Just tossed my first batch into the primary about an hour ago! Had a small boil over and a little bit of trouble with the OG. I'm getting an OG of about 1.050 when it should be up around 1.065. I am assuming it is due to a lack of stirring, resulting in the reading being pretty much all of the top water. Any suggestions and reassurance is welcome!

Your assumption of a bad mix would be correct, it's almost impossible to miss the OG on extract kits, unless you added way too much water

I'll take your word for it and assume that I am somewhere close to on track(that is all that I'm hoping for with the first batch). Will a bad mix prevent fermentation or anything? Thanks in advance to duboman and anyone else who contributes!

It will be fine, the yeasties know what to do.
