BeerAlchemy OG calculation?

[MrSmug]

I am testing BeerAlchemy out with a recipe I purchased at MoreBeer. The recipe is named "Janet's Brown Ale" and it has the following fermentables/adjuncts:

Extract - Light Liquid Malt Extract 9.00 lb
Extract - Bavarian Wheat Dried Extract 1.00 lb
US Caramel 40L Malt 1.25 lb
US Carapils Malt 1.00 lb
US Chocolate Malt 0.50 lb

When I enter this into BeerAlchemy it displays a starting gravity of 1.086 but the recipe notes that the OG should be between 1.065-1.070. Is the recipe OG incorrect of BeerAlchemy's calculation incorrect?

Thanks

I use BeerAlchemy and haven't had any issues with the OG calculations.

Just for grins, I put your recipe in www.hopville.com and it turned out as an OG of 1.087. If you went to 6 lbs LME, you'd be at ~1.066.

Good luck!
