This dumb, because it is what it is, and I've also tested my hydrometer with water...and it came out 1.01. Here's what I've got:
* Total capacity of fermenter- 6 gallons
* 9 lbs Munich Malt extract
* 1 1/4 pounds of malted grains..boiled and strained
* OG is 1.042??
Doesn't the OG seem low considering I used 9 lbs of extract?? I was actually going for a high gravity beer, considering the "recipe" called for only 7.5 lbs of extract. For a higher gravity, malty brew...how much extract (assuming you're doing that way) would you use?
