Og

[dhelegda]

Ok so I have been off on gravity once or twice...always too low. Add some Light DME and back in business. So how do I lower my OG from 1.060 to 1.048...is it as simple as adding water?

Yes. It's as simple as adding water, just as extract brewers top-off.

Yes, you will need to add 25% additional water to the 1.060 wort to reduce to 1.048, or 1.25 gallons assuming 5 gallons of 1.060 wort to end up w/ 6.25 of 1.048 wort.
