I'm currently perfecting an American Pale Ale recipe put together by Craft Brewer as an introduction to BIAB. I'm onto my 3rd brew (1st and 2nd were a hit with friends!) but I'm now paying more attention to detail to perfect it and one thing I've done is finally measure OG. The BeerSmith2 recipe says it should be 1.051 but when measured yesterday it was only 1.042.
Whilst numbers are numbers and generally only used as a guide, I'm interested to know what could be the cause of a lower than expected OG and how I can hit the target?
Don't ask me why I didn't measure the other two brews - the answer is quite embarrassing...
