Hi, new brewer here..... I have a question about a recipe I followed and ended up with a higher OG that expected, and an accidental deviation. Here is what I made (3rd batch) Questions are at the bottom.

Type: Partial Mash
Date: 7/21/2008
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Boil Size: 4.08 gal Asst Brewer:
Boil Time: 60 min Equipment: Brew Pot (5 Gallon)
Taste Rating(out of 50): 35.0 Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.0
Taste Notes:
Ingredients
Amount Item Type % or IBU
5.00 lb Wheat Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 55.6 %
1.50 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 16.7 %
1.00 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 11.1 %
1.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 11.1 %
0.50 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 5.6 %
45 min boil(accidentally added extra hops 30 minutes into it and panicked)
0.65 oz Hallartau @ 45 min (AA 3.8%)
0.35 oz Hallartau @ 15 min
3 tsp ground corriander @ 10 min
3 tsp Vallencia orange peel @ 10 min
1 fresh orange zest @ 10 min
1 Pkgs Belgian Wit Ale (White Labs #WLP400)
Beer Profile(From the recipe, not mine)
Est Original Gravity: 1.058 SG
Measured Original Gravity: 1.048 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.013 SG Measured Final Gravity: 1.010 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.8 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 4.9 %
Bitterness: 10.2 IBU Calories: 211 cal/pint
Est Color: 7.0 SRM Color: Color
My OG was 1.060 Mash time was 90 min @ 142-146 avg. My question is, why do I have a higher OG than I am supposed to? Also, how will the boil time and deviation of 15 less minutes in the boil affect the outcome. Thanks for the replies, I am still learning the lingo. I come from a micro/marine bio background and I love all the nerdy talk about beer!
