I brewed an all grain steam beer today. My pre-boil OG was dead on with what Beersmith calculated, but my post-boil OG was ~ 1.046 when it should have been 1.052. The calculated bitterness ratio was .829.
Of course, the problem was that not enough water evaporated during the boil. But I'm not sure why. Ever since I started using Beersmith a few months ago, I've been so much more successful hitting target gravities. Not sure how my evaporation rate was off as it was today. Any ideas?
Also, do you think that this beer is going to be very different at 1.046?
Thanks
