tomorrow I'm brewing an extract kit from NB. The recipe sheet lists OG as 1.074. I decided to enter the recipe into BeerSmith and it calculates OG as 1.055. Brewer's Friend calculates 1.068, which is close enough to 1.074 to call it "right".
any idea why the discrepancy?
6.3 lb Gold Malt Syrup
2 lb. Golden Light DME
1 lb. corn sugar
.5 lb Carapils, steeped 15 minutes
.5 lb flaked oats, steeped 15 minutes
if the recipe sheet is right at 1.074, I would leave the corn sugar out because I want a lower ABV.
thanks
Ken
