I had a misshap during my brew yesterday, and forgot to give the mash a good stir after adding the sparge water and ende up at 1.068 instead of my intended 1.074.
I am getting to the point in my brewing where most of the times I end up pretty much with what I wanted, but I guess things like this will happen at times.
This got me wondering if there are any calculators out there where you can calculate the amont of DME to add to the boil to reach a certain OG given you know the boil volume, pre boil SG and boil off rate?
 
Calculator?
You're 6 points short in v volume (in gallons).
DME gives you 44 (gravity) points per pound per gallon (ppg). So 6/44*v pounds of DME will get you to your OG target.
