So I brewed my first AG batch 5 days ago, Cascadian Dark Ale from Austin Homebrew, and things went way smoother than I expected. Only thing wrong was my OG was a LOW 1.049 when I was shooting for 1.065. Batch still fermented out very vigorously after 18 hours so I'm not too worried it won't still be a good beer.
I also brewed an extract american brown ale that I used for base on a pumpkin ale. Just added cans of pumpkin and spices to my liking. The OG was supposed to be 1.041 but I came in at 1.064! It's steadily filling my blow off bottle as we speak. :rockin:
First question, is there a logical explanation for what I may or may not have done wrong with either/both batches?
What effects may be coming my way?
Any advice is welcome and appreciated, and of course tell me what other info you want me to provide to help all around.
Thanks to everyone on this site and the wealth of knowledge I've already come across!
