Hello all
I have just brewed my first extract brew, used brewers friend to calculate bitterness etc but when all was done the OG reading was off. The calculator predicted 1059 but he sample I took from the FV last night was more like 1039. I followed the recipe and brew steps as instructed but no idea how I failed to reach this predicted OG. Can I rectify this by adding boiled and cooled sugary wort to the Fv? It has been fermenting now 15 hrs.
