Just did an Irish Red Ale, scaled from "Brewing Classic Styles" and purchased ingredients at BrewMasters Warehouse in Marietta. I used their Brewbuilder program to get the numbers right, but OG came in low. Boiled all wort in one pot, did the ice water bath then split into two kegs topping off with water Mr. Beer style to top of Quart.
I think on next batch, I'll take original recipe ingredients x .87 (the book assumes 5.5 gallons transferred to fermenter and I'll be transferring about 4.8 which is about 87 %).

I've made that one too! Really good.
I've never done an ice water bath-- just cold tap water in the sink.
Give us tasting notes!

I used the BrewBuilder calculator online which allows changes to volume etc. I think it will be good, but my OG was definitely low. Has anyone else had this issue?
I think it had me cutting the amount of extract too much to achieve target OG.

I do have a scale and weighed everything according to the Brewbuilder. I had it calculated at 4.8 gallons for the two kegs combined.
Brew calculator gave me:
1.054 OG
1.014 FG
16 IBU (shade less than style but used 1 oz hops instead of 1.1 oz)
14.6 SRM
5.24 ABV
6 lbs, 6 oz - Briess Pilsen LME
4 oz - Briess caramel 40
4 oz - Briess Roasted Barley
4 oz - crystal 120
1 oz - Kent Goldings @ 60 mins
1/4 teasp. Irish Moss @ 10 mins
1 pack - Nottingham yeast
My reading was 1.033 OG. Maybe I need to check the hydrometer?
