Just brewed a SMaSH extract with Muntons Amber DME. I used a pound eight ounces to one and a half gallons of water figuring that should give me 1.063 for 1 gallon after boil off. I had to top off with three bottles of water, sixteen ounces each. When I took the hydrometer reading, it was 1.034. Not sure what is going on there. Even with temperature compensation I should not have been that low.
Any ideas as to what may have happened?
