I recently added the Briess line of malts to my "fermentables" list. Go to "file", "add- ons" and select the fermentables plug in. All of the Briess DME's had a default gravity potential of 1.035 SG (35 PPPG) It should be 1.045 SG (45 PPPG) I did not catch this error until after I brewed what I thought was going to be a small Blonde Ale. The expected O.G. was 1.046. It came in at 1.062. Now the bittering ratios will be off, probably have to dump the batch. Be sure to check the gravity potential of all grains and extracts when developing a recipe. Learned this one the hard way.
