Okay, I've been doing this long enough that I'm pretty sure I know how to read a hydrometer, but yesterday's session confused me plenty.
Reading 2: After honey added (post flameout)
1.040 @ 160F = 1.062
Reading 3: Reading after cooled
1.050 @ 80F = 1.052
How is that possible? I expected about 1.062 for grav into fermentor. 1.052 would be somewhere in the 50s for efficiency. Ever had this happen? And yes, I had my wife there to confirm readings.
