Hey everyone, I have been buying nearly all my extract kits from NB and have noticed a common theme, I rarely get the same OG as what they advertise on their site. Still being relatively new to this, I am wondering what might be contributing to that since I am basically doing it by the recipe.
I brew in a 5 gallon pot and do about 3 gallons and then add cold water. I follow the recipes to a T and brew over a darkstar burner. For instance, I just did a saison last night that they say should be a 1.041 and I got a 1.035. Are there some variables that play into this that I am not aware of/may be missing? Thanks for the help.
