when measuring OG i found my beers were coming out on the heavy side and was thinking my numbers were skewed due to all the garbage still in the wort. My last batch i took a sample and instead of measuring the gravity right away i let the sample sit for 15 minutes, lots of material settled out. I poured the top liquid portion into my vile and let it sit again before putting the hydrometer in it.
Is this correct practice for measuring OG or am i way off base?
