I just brewed up an APA yesterday, and the gravity ended up being 1.033 instead of 1.054.
It was a 5 gallon batch with 5.5# of light LME, 1.1# of wheat LME, 1/2# 10L and 1/2# 20L. Even without any of the crystal malts, the gravity should have been way higher than it ended up being. Am I wrong in thinking that extract is going to have the same gravity in the end no matter what you do? Other than that, I'm figuring the guy at the LHBS was in a hurry or something and didn't weigh out enough extract for me.
I'm pretty sure it'll end up being drinkable. It might work out in my favor seeing as it's so delicious I could drink way more than I should, so maybe a lower ABV is a good idea...
