So today I transferred my first batch (Kolsch) into my secondary fermenter and brewed my second batch (IPA). I took an OG reading on the kolsch which should have been 1.040ish but it came out 1.030 (I expected as much since I ended up with a little over 5gal total) my reading on the kolsch today was 1.010. The IPA that I brewed today should have had a OG around 1.060 but it came out 1.048 and I made sure I was just shy of the 5 gal mark this time. Could it be that I am using soft water or is there something else that I am missing...
