actually, I did measure and got 1.066 post boil (and 1.057 from the lautering tun). The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to be able to determine whether or not I need to add any DME to hit my desired gravity. I just converted a cooler to a Mash tun and this was my first AG run (outside of some 1/2 batches using Deathbrewer's awesome technique). I will of course eventually get my efficiency up and dialed-in, and then it won't matter, but I missed my OG by 10+ points on this IPA I did yesterday, and I think it may be a bit over-bittered now because of it.....I would have dialed back the bittering hops or added some DME to make up the lost gravity points if I'd been able form an educated guess about my gravity after the boil.....
thanks for your responses.....I do know to either cool the wort or adjust for the high laugtering temp.
