I have been home brewing for a couple years now and have turned out some pretty awesome brews (thanks HBT!).
I am an extract brewer and always do partial boils (2 - 2.5 Gal).
Almost every brew the OG is consistently lower than what is called for in the recipe. Recently, I brewed an amber ale. Target OG was 1056. Mine came in at 1044. Typical for what I am seeing on a regular basis.
Any hints?![Tank :tank: :tank:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-132.gif)
