I brewed Jamil's Chocolate Hazelnut Porter today. My pre-boil gravity with a refractometer was off by 2 points...estimated gravity--1.058, actual--1.056
After the boil, I forgot to check the gravity before adding the cocoa at flame out. So I took a gravity(refractometer) reading with the cocoa in the wort. Estimated OG should have been 1.072. I ended up with with 1.055. Either my efficiency was terrible or the cocoa really affected my numbers.
What do you think?
