Last weekend I brewed a Ruination Clone from an extract recipe in BYO. Their OG was listed at 1.075. Mine turned out to be 1.061. I followed the recipe except for one variation.
It said to add the LME at the beginning of the 60 minute boil. But through research aand talking to the guy at my LHBS, I decided it was better to add the LME with 10 minutes left for the boil. This variation I did in hopes of upping the saturation rate of the hops. Would this variation be responsible for the difference between my OG and te recipe? What else could have made a difference?
