Yes, I read it correctly. If it is 1.11 or 1.101 it still seems extreamly high. The recipe called for 1.068 O.G. I am just going to leave it be unless anyone thinks I should add some more water. But I don't want to aggitate it because it has already started fermenting. The only thing I can think of is that I may not have strained it enough. Some of the hop particals are still in it. I poured my wort through a sterilized hop bag from the kettle to the primary. I'm not sure if that was enough. Should I take anoter reading now that it has settled overnight? Or will that be too invasive?
These are my brewing notes:
