Good day all. Well yesterday I did up a beer that I have done twice before with know problems. Yesterday after I did the mash and got it into the pot I had checked to see what my pre-boil gravity was and yep it was reading only 1.016 (It should of been at 1.043). This tells me that I really had no conversion. I double checked the readings and both my refractometer and hydrometer were calibrated I always make sure they both read the same before I brew so they are calibrated. Volumes and Temps were spot on.
The only thing I can think of is the Homebrew shop where I got them from crushed them really. The girl that did the crushing I saw her having to play with mill so I think that is what caused the issue.
I ended up just pouring it out on the ground for I knew that if I did a boil it would take for ever to get the gravity reading where I needed it and I was just pissed off at what happened.
I guess it is time to just buy my own mill and never go back to that store.
