My last four brews have all had OG values that have been higher than what is predicted by beersmith and FG gravity values lower that what was predicted. These have been recipes with predicted OG in the 1.054 range but actual OG of 1.060. Final predicted FG of 1.014 and actual of 1.010.
I have let the beers go in the primary for 4 weeks and then cold crash for 48 hours and then use gelatin for extra clarity. Could the presence of the gelatin change the FG this much? Not so sure if it is my crush by my barley crusher on the all grain recipes or something else for the higher OG numbers.
Any ideas and should I be concerned at all with these numbers being off?
Thanks.
