Don't know why but the android beersmith doesn't have a 10.5 gal option. That is actually the pot I'm using. This was my first batch with the new equipment/full volume boil. My boil off was more than I expected which left me having to top it up.

Thanks DurtyChemist. In going back through when I got to the extract I realized I had LME in the calculation but used DME in the boil. Made all the difference auto Calc was much closer 1.083. My reading was 1.088. That I can live with.

The grains were mashed and sparaged then the extract was added to the wort. Just started using this program and still trying to figure it out. I was using ibrew master. It might be the honey. I do like what it adds to the beer though.

Started with 6.5 gallons of water. Ended with about 4.75 gal. Topped up to 5 gal. Post boil. Took reading after transfer to fermenter. Cooled down to 70F.

Attached is my recipe and the calculation from beersmith (I also entered it into ibrew and the calculation was very similar.) So as usual I put in all my ingredients and it auto calc's my OG. My problem comes in that no matter what I increase in the recipe I can't come up with the gravity I...

Think it will hurt to pitch another batch of yeast now? Or should i just let it be in the primary extra time. I'm guessing that ibrew must be not calculating quite right then. Maybe time to go with brew smith.

[INDENT]So I just made a Chrismas ale from a recipe I found on line. Ran into some issues with the gravitates though. Should have ended up at about 1.074 leaving me with an 8% beer. Instead I ended with an og of 1.102 which if continues correctly will give me almost a 10% beer. I've gone over...
