I made the extract version of this on Tuesday, following the recipe to exactness. My problem is, two things.....I started out with the 6.5 gallons of of wort, boiled for the 90 minutes, but ended up with just a bit over 6 gallons. I suspect that is the reason I ended up with 1.057 OG instead of the 1.061 the recipe said I should hit.
The wort is very good and has some GREAT potential. I just took a hydrometer sample and I'm already down to 1.016 and the recipe said 1.02 for a final SG. I, of course, tasted the sample, since I couldn't put it back and it is a very good IPA, even without dryhopping yet.
So the question...what happened to the OG? not enough boil off to get to 5 gallons? If that's the case, can you just continue boiling past the hop times?
