I have a pumpkin ale in my primary and before i brewed it I used the brewers friend calculator to figure out an OG and FG. I took refractometer readings after mashing and it read 1.065 and after the boil it read 1.052. On the calculator it had the OG at 1.070.
It's been in the primary for about a week and is reading 1.020 which is .001 different then the calculator.
Why was there such a big difference with my OG on brew day? My efficiency was lower then 75%. Shouldn't that lower my FG too?
