Due to the size of my primary kettle (#1) I needed to dump some of the sparge into a second kettle. So my brew day ended with the 2 brew kettles at different volumes and starting gravities:

Kettle 1 - 3.5 gallons @ 1.081
Kettle 2 - 1.5 gallons @ 1.042

The entire wort was all tossed in a 5 gallon glass carboy. Without pulling a sample, can anyone calculate the actual SG of this beer? Or at least ballpark it?

I was shooting for 1.066 with this beer.
 
81 x 3.5 = 283.5
42 x 1.5 = 63
283.5 + 63 = 346.5
346.5 / 5 = 69.3
69.3 = 1.069

This is assuming your gravity readings were temperature corrected.
