I was brewing a Stout kit from MoreBeer! last night and took an OG reading of 1.102 at 25-deg C (roughly 77-deg F). With a temp adjustment, it would be 1.104. The recipe suggests an OG of 1.057. Now I have read quite a bit on HBT on OG readings that are off by .010's, .020's and felt that I understood the reasons pretty well. Do you all know what the heck would cause a reading THIS far off? BTW, I did double-check the hydrometer to make sure it read 1.000 in plain water.
