Is this possible or perhaps did I take a totally inaccurate initial reading? I'm 110% confident my second two were correct. All three readings were taken using a refract... Not certain if its relevant but I did have tremendous activity for the first two weeks.

OG = 1.0512

Gravity after Primary = 1.071 ???

TG Post secondary and stable = 1.031
 
The Alcohol content does skew the reading, but it shouldn't go up. You can use this to get a better reading from your brix: http://www.onebeer.net/refractometer.shtml
As for the lower OG, was it an extract batch or some sort of sugar addition? That maybe didn't mix in all the way when you took the reading.

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