Getting ready to boil. Preboil OG should have been 1.050 but mine was 1.03. Couple of questions. I used about 13 gallons figuring for about close to 2.5-3 gallons lost to the grain and to the boil. Right now the kettle looks like it has about 12 gallons in it. Would this account for the bad efficiency? Also, I did a finer crush so maybe that added extra proteins and thus more volume throwing off my gravity reading? I'm going to boil it for a while before adding the first hops addition.
Right now I'm looking at a 2.5% ABV ale. I guess it's quaffable but I was looking for more like 4%.
Any suggestions?
