So I have been brewing for a few years, and have had this issue from time to time. Today is a good example of it.
I brewed an AG DF 60 clone using the recipe I found here (its awesome BTW, as I have brewed it like 4 times now). I hit my pre-boil gravity dead on, though my pre-boil volume was about .25 gallons higher than the recipe called for. However, after a 60ish minute boil, my post boil gravity was only 1.061 and it should have been 1.067. Should I have boiled a bit longer given the slightly extra wort volume pre-boil? I have not figured out my boil off volumes yet (should do that soon), but I think I am close in BeerSmith.
Any thoughts?
