  Hi Boscar, a couple of initial things to check, were all the ingredients fully mixed in and dissolved when the reading was taken, and how much liquid was added - what was the total volume of liquid when the hydro reading was taken?

  The Harvest Barely is designed to be made to 24 pints rather than 40 to reach the stronger alcohol percentage, if made to a 40 pint volume you could always add some more extract or enhancer to increase the strength perhaps. At 40 pints it will probably be a nice brew, but it just wont have the higher alcohol strength

  No problem, just add some sugar to boost the strength if wanted, Cheers
