I brewed a batch this weekend and the recipe called for an OG reading of 1.062, and mine came in at 1.050. I have a suspicion why, and want some feedback.
I cooled the wort to 68 degrees, then whirlpooled and let it sit for about 30 min. I drew my sample from the "clear" wort on top after all the solids settled at the bottom of the pot.
Maybe I should have taken the sample before whirlpooling. Could my low OG reading be due to a bad sample?
