Made a 5gallon batch tonight. OG was supposed to be 1.062. Preboil gravity was 1.044 which by my calculations with a 60min boil should have given my a post boil gravity of 1.057, ( this is before the addition of 12oz's of invert sugar at 15mins, which theoretically should have brought me up in the ballpark of my calculated OG),. However I wound up with an OG of 1.052!! WTF?!?
So I started thinking, I miscalculated my sparge water addition. I should've only added 4.61 gallons, but would up adding about 5.25. I overcollected by about a gallon.
My initial guess is this could be a big part of the culprit.
Curious what those more learned in the ways have to say about this...
