So, I did just completed my first brew, and it’s now in the basement fermenting. It’s an IPA, and the O.G. reading was 1054, while the recipe has an O.G. reading of 1059. Is this a huge difference, or is it within the acceptable margin of “error”?
Is 1054 an acceptable O.G. or should I aim for a higher O.G., and if so, is there anywhere in the process that I should pay more attention to when aiming for a higher O.G.?
How do you evaluate your brews - before tasting the final product?
Any help will be much appreciated!
