This might be an odd thing to complain about, but I'm doing something in my brew day that is causing my sort to have a higher specific gravity than expected.
I've just started brewing Brew-in-a-bag, but I had the same issue when I was brewing extract.
For example, yesterday, I brewed an IPA. I was looking for 1.050 but I got 1.064. My last few batches have been higher in alcohol than the target. And I'm trying to brew smaller beers. 50 bottles of 11% is a lot of big beer to drink.
So, what can I do in my brew day that would cause the sg to go up? How am I messing up? Theories?
Thanks for your help.
