Hello Everybody!
I'm new to this forum, I've been reading it for a while but I'm finally joining the community. I hope that you are all brewing great beers and tasting them. Well I'll cut to the chase. I brew a blonde ale and I made my SRM calculations expecting something like 4.94 SRM using the Morey's Formula I know this is just in theory. However the color was completely different it was so light, almost white. I expected an OG of 1.05 but achieved only 1.035 I know that was just because I ended up adding more sparge due to a temperature mistake (78C), well it was a disaster I know but even so. Is SRM supposed to be that different? I calculated the SRM by hand and verified with a calculator and it was correct. Or which variables could've made that, or should I simply calculate like double SRM in order to get a Golden like color? Any help is appreciated!
