help!! consistently low OG
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:01 am
i started all-grain brewing 3 weeks ago and brewed 3 times. all three batches have had low OG. i am using a refractometer for measuring.
yesterday i brewed a pale ale, was going for 1.045 and got 1.037
last week i brewed a belgium dubbel, was going for 1.060 and got 1.055
3 weeks ago i brewed a gose, was going for 1.048 and got 1.042
do you think my refractometer needs calibrated or somewhere in my process is off?
thanks
