I have been doing all grain brewing for about 15 batches of beer now .. I do them in my kitchen, on my stove. I can only boil about 4 1/2 gallons of wort comfortably, so to make a full batch I have to top off .. I have been getting some conflicting hydro readings pre boil and after topping off .. I havent been doing a post boil, before topping off reading, beacuse that wort is so much harder to cool than pre boil ... I always think my after topping off reading should be 2 to 4 points higher based on my pre boil reading .. so which one is more accurate? ... I'm thinking the pre boil is but, I swear I mix that water in really, really well .. thoughts ?? ..
