Hi,
i brewed a belgian witbier today and the estimated pre boil gravity was 1.041 and the actual pre boil gravity was 1.062. way too high.
now the estimated post boil gravity was 1.046 and the actual post boil gravity was 1.038. way too low.
i mashed for 60 minutes recirculating at 148 degrees f. and my hydrometer is calibrated correctly i checked. and i cooled the sample down correctly. i have never had this issue before. this is supposed to be a 5% ABV finished beer but i am now at best looking at 3.8%. my brewhouse efficiency is 75%, or so i thought. what have i done wrong. thanks for the help. 5 gallon batch btw.
