Here is what I brewed exported from Brewer's Friend:
Brew Method: Extract
Style Name: Robust Porter
Boil Time: 60 min
Batch Size: 5.5 gallons (fermentor volume)
Boil Size: 3.5 gallons
Expected STATS:
Original Gravity: 1.065
Final Gravity: 1.018
ABV (standard): 6.11%
IBU (tinseth): 31.87
SRM (morey): 29.05
FERMENTABLES:
3 lb - Dry Malt Extract - Dark - (late addition) (29.3%)
3 lb - Liquid Malt Extract - Amber - (late addition) (29.3%)
3 lb - Liquid Malt Extract - Amber (29.3%)
STEEPING GRAINS:
8 oz - American - Chocolate (4.9%)
2 oz - American - Roasted Barley (1.2%)
8 oz - American - Caramel / Crystal 80L (4.9%)
2 oz - Belgian - Special B (1.2%)
HOPS:
1 oz - Domestic Hallertau for 60 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 3.9, IBU: 14.8)
1 oz - Fuggles for 60 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 4.5, IBU: 17.07)
YEAST:
Fermentis / Safale - Safale - American Ale Yeast US-05
So then my question is, it says my expected OG was 1.065 when taking the actual reading I came up with 1.070, what could have made this happen? Is it just greater efficiency from the steeping grains?
