I am on my 7th brew (AG) I seem to have a reoccurring problem with having to boil much longer to get my OG than recipes are calling for which is throwing off my hop additions. The last few brews I've done , I've been over my recipe boil time by almost an hour. I take hydrometer readings every 15 min till desired OG ( at 60 f) I am using a water calculator ( http://www.brew365.com/mash_sparge_water_calculator.php) I am trying to figure out whether or not its an efficiency issue or just wrong advice from the calculator. The wort hitting my carboys hae been close to volume +/- .5 gal so I'm doubting the efficiency issue.. any thoughts would help... Time to go take a reading and hope she's done.....
