First all grain today , OG question

[njpatg]

Did my first all grain brew today ( dead ringer ipa ) and the OG was a bit low at 1.055. The recipe called for the OG to be 1.064 . What effect will this have on the final product ? thanks

1.055 will turn into a good beer, start planning the next brew.
You can get too deep with the numbers, keep the pleasure in it.
It's a great hobby.

Just a little low on abv. If you bought your grains pre-crushed that's likely the reason.

Your hops may be more pronounced without the malt for balance. I always keep DME on hand for these occasions. If you get to the end of your boil and you are short just add DME and boil for 10-mins. You can search around for the number of gravity points/gallon. I don't recall the exact number.
