OK, so first few batches I didn't pay attention to any of this ****, just threw some ingredients together in the right order and it worked out pretty well. But then I started reading all about gravity and how to measure it and I bought a hydrometer and I'm trying it for the first time.
So in Brewtarget, I enter all my ingredients and it calculates the OG for me to be 1.065. When I measure it however (just before pitching yeast), I got a reading of 1.072. What does this mean? What does it tell me about how I did my boil? Is this within the normal standard deviation or did I maybe mess something up?
cheers!
