Well, here are some pics and the recipe from my last AG. This was my second AG attempt and I hit all the temps pretty closely. My OG was 1.060, so that's only 3 points higher than expected.

Quickquestion....hop matter in the hydrometer tube should not affect the reading, correct?

Anyway, here is a link to the recipe...

Lookin good. If you beat your estimate by 3 points, that means your efficiency was higher than you expected.:ban: Anything that tries to float or sink that is in contact with your hydrometer will affect the reading. I wouldn't worry as the effect is likely small. Next time do your best to keep it clean. If you use a wine theif, a coffee filter rubber banded to the bottom does a good job.

Thanks!

Yea, I forgot to take the hydrometer reading, and I already transferred everything to the fermentor and pitched the yeast. I use a turkey baster, and I hadn't sanitized it either, so I wasn't sticking that in the fermentor...so I tried sucking the remaining beer out of the sludge. There was a good bit of hop material in there so I didn't taste it either :( :)
 
I see. Not that big a deal that you didn't get to taste it. Personally, I dont' like the taste of sweet wort, it's just sugary water to me, and it tastes exactly like it smells, so I already know what it "tastes" like. Feels pretty good to know you made that one all by yourself, doesn't it!

Weird Refractometer. What's causing repeat measurements on same sample, to keep going up drastically?
