Just finished brewing our second batch of beer over the weekend, a stout. We are using a Brewer's Best kit, which uses steeped grains and DME/LME. For the second time, the OG was less than the range we were shooting for per the instructions. Even prior to filling to 5 gallons, we were at 1.028 rather than the 1.046-1.050 range indicated. This same thing happened with our previous batch, which was an IPA.
I'm kinda at a loss. I feel like we've followed the instructions to a "T," and I'm not really understanding where we're going wrong. What impact will this lower OG have on the beer, if any?
Thanks for any insight!
