So I broke my hyrometer durring my brew session today, and my refractometer is giving me a OG of 1.073 or 17.8 brix but I was expecting around 1.065OG or 16Brix when all was said and done. I was taking measurements of my wort pre-boil and all were on track, last reading from both hyrometer and refratometer were 1.061 pre-boil. I've re-calibrated my refractometer with distilled water and I keep getting this reading. Should I trust it? My gut says no. My tastebuds say no (wort doesn't taste "that" sweet, but it's a pretty high IBU beer.). Thoughts?
