So I did my first full boil extract kit today, with my new turkey fryer, but the numbers don't add up..
This kit called for 6.25g pre-boil and 5.25 into fermenter with an OG of 1.051.
I started with exactly 6.25g and ended with just under 5.5, but an OG of 1.056.
From what i have read most extract kits should be dead on the OG if the volumes are correct. So why did mine end up high, even though my boil off was less then predicted?
Any insights would be helpful.
