Broke hydrometer, need O.G.

[ryno1981]

So last night I brewed an IPA. After I sanitized my hydrometer it slipped out my hand onto the floor. Can someone with brewing software please help me figure out my O.G.? I used 6.6 lbs. of light LME, 1 lbs. of light DME and 10 oz. of dextrose. Also if it makes any difference my hop schedule was 1 oz. magnum at 60, .5 oz citra at 20,.5 oz. citra at 15, .5 oz. citra at 10, .5 oz. citra at 5 and 1 oz. citra at flame out. If any one could help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Oh yeah , I also steeped 12 oz. of crystal 60 for about 20 min.

How much liquid remained after the boil? 5g batch?

DME gives about 44 ppg
LME 36-37 or so
Dextrose 46.

If you have a 5g batch, you're looking at:
244.2 points from the LME (37x6.6lbs)
44 from DME
28.75 from the dextrose (using 10oz is .625lbs x 46)

Total 316.95 gravity points. Divide by 5 gallons is 63.39, so I'd expect an OG of 1.063 or so.

[edit: I ignored the C60]

I topped off with a gallon of water. Thanks for your help! Does the recipe look good to you otherwise? With the hop additions?

you could always save a sample to test when you get a new one unless youve already pitched. Ive had to do this before

Just went through the same thing. I kept a sample and tested after the replacement hydrometer arrived. Don't forget to record in the broken hydrometer thread.

I'll remember that. Definitely picking up a spare to have just in case.
