General

Did not do PH Bought extension to fill four kegs Stuffed up the measurement of grains which resulted in very low gravity. Asked on BeerSmith forum for help. One recommendation was to use extract kit to “top up”. Did this which bought the gravity up. It “saved' the beer…but it wasn’t amazing.
