Hey guys,
I wanted to try out the Brulosophers Best Blonde Ale recipe yesterday. Grain bill is as follows:
8.25 - 2 Row
0.75 - white wheat
0.50 - Crystal 15L
0.25 - Carapils
BeerSmith estimated a pre boil gravity of 1.041 which I was very close to at 1.038. However, my post boil gravity after an hour boil only reached 1.032. (This was a sample right before I pitched the yeast.) How is that possible? Estimated OG needed to be 1.051. At any rate, I’m going to roll with it and see how it turns out, even if it is low alcohol. I’ve got a nice fermentation started as of this morning. What went wrong with my numbers do you think? What is the possible reason for not hitting gravity numbers?
