I'm trying to do a better job on the details and one thing I've been bad about is knowing what my readings really mean. I have been pretty good at taking my gravity readings but after my last batch seemed too watery, I started to try and figure out what went wrong and what I could have done to fix it.
So let's assume on brew day I take readings after sparge or pre-boil and during boil or pre-chilling. Let's also assume that whatever target my recipe says that I've missed. The question then becomes, what can I do about it?
For example, my Irish Red ale had an estimated OG 1047 and I think I was at 1038. Was there something I should have or could have done about it?
