I hadn't thought about that. To ensure that I don't run into something this like this in the future, what recommendation would you have on extracting the mashout sample?

It was just your typical hydrometer, and then was validated with another hydrometer that gave the same reading. I haven't upgraded to a refractometer yet.

I didn't take the actual temp, but waited well over an hour to drop the hydrometer in it anticipating that it would warm up to room temp by then. It felt very comparable to the room temp at the time, which was 71 degrees.

My newly acquired corny has a static relief valve on the lid instead of the conventional pull valve. I seem to be having some trouble with a leak, but have had problems finding reference material on how to disassemble/troubleshoot these types of issues for a static relief valve. Can...

I forgot to thief a sample before cooling the beer, so I took this reading after refridgeration, but before force carbonation.

I'm astonished by a gravity reading from my beer this past weekend. Its an Imperial IPA, and our gravity was 1.082 at the mashout. From there, we did a 90-minute boil, and added 2 pounds of light brown sugar in the last 5 minutes, which are consistent with what we've done to other recent...

I'm at the carbonation step of a two stage fermentation of an Imperial IPA, and had a most unusual gravity issue come up at the force carbonation step of the process. My gravities have been the following up to this point in the process: 1.068 @ Mashout 1.105 @ Yeast Pitch (90 minute...
