I just made this using the extract kit & added alcohol boost sugar. My SG IS 1.062ish, the kit says my target is 1.053. Could the alcohol boost sugar cause this increase?

The more sugar you add the higher the gravity number. The target on the recipe doesn't know you added the boost.
Thanks!! That's what I figured just wanted to verify
Did the mini mash and it came out astringenty, I can't remember if I added the 1% boost or not but out did ferment in the upper 70's. It's gotten much much better after 2 months in the bottle so hopefully it'll clean up.
