Brewed an all grain today. My girlfriend found the recipe here (Not tonight HONEY im tired ale):

Everything went great as far as quantities and temperatures (only our 2nd time doing an all grain) but when we measured the ABV and OG with our hydrometer after pitching the yeast it was only at 2.75% and 1.025? What would cause this to be so low?
**One change to the recipe I had to make was to use Wyeast 1056 American yeast instead of White Labs California Ale because my local brew shop only carries Wyeast.
**Also, the plastic tube that the hydrometer comes in was cracked in our situation. So, I just floated the hydrometer in the 5 gallon bucket of wort (hope this doesnt skew the reading?)
