Just did my second batch, a 2.5 gallon pale ale. The recipe came from the local brew shop:
3 lbs Light DME
4 oz Crystal 20
0.5 oz Perle (Bittering)
0.5 oz Cascade (Flavor)
0.5 oz Cascade (Dry hop)
I got it put together, and the OG in the recipe said it should be 1.060. I measured 1.042 in mine!!
Hopville's tools said it should be 1.055. Can anyone think of why this happened? The only thing I can think of is that the DME bags I used from the shop must have been smaller than a pound each (they're packed on-site). I'll be measuring everything myself from now on.
