Gents,
Need some help on this. I'm an all grain brewer using a MoreBeer Tippy system. My boil off is 2 gallons for 60min (high, I know). It's a rolling boil. Pre boil gravity is almost always spot on. Let's say 1050 for this example. I boil off 2 gallons and every single brewing program says I should be at 1070. It's always a 20 point increase. But, every time I take my reading it is 1060. That is a big difference and I can't figure out why. I always collect 7.25 gal. I always boil of 2 gal. I always end up with 5.25 gal into the fermenter. I take an OG reading with a hydrometer (adj for temp) and also a refractometer reading that auto adjusts for temp and they both give me the same reading. What am I missing?! This is driving me crazy.
