I just brewed a Holiday Ale and wan't to test the OG and it was off the chart I couldn't even read it. I use a refractor . Plus how do you get FG with a refractor?
I just used one from my salt water reef tank.
The problem with diluting is that you add another source of measurement error. A 10%-20% error is diluting would be easy to do if you aren't careful. Also, what is the volume of the wort? Have you diluted it to 5 gallons at this point? That could be another source of it being so high.It would be 1.108, the gravity of (pure) water is 1.000.
