I have an IIPA in secondary fermentation. I recently got a refractometer to monitor the fermentation progress without having to take large samples of the precious goodness. My OG was 1.129. My last sample read 10 Brix which converted to 1.038. I've been reading as much as I can on alcohol content skewing the refractometer readings so the 1.038 is not accurate. I use Brew Pal and it has alcohol compensation which brings the reading to 0.977. I used the spread sheet from more beer and it came up with a very similar reading. This can't be correct given a predicted attenuation of around 75%.
Any thoughts on what is going on?
