Started my sixth batch last night and ran into a first for me. I buy extract kits from my local supplier and they have never led me astray. I was doing a high OG ale and the OG was 1.062, but the recipe stated that it would be 1.079+/-. I did a partial boil with 2 gallons of water and topped off the ferment to about 5.5 gallons for the loss in the transfer to the secondary. I feel that other than a bit more water than was called for I followed the steps perfectly. Would a half gallon of water throw the OG off that far? Thanks.
