So for some reason or another (being a noob) I thought that the OG reading was taken before the boil. Now I realize through some research that I was completely wrong and should have been taking the readings after the boil, whether in the carboy before pitching yeast or in the brewpot and adjusting for temp.
So needless to say my OG readings have always been a little lower than expected, but still not that bad. So I'm assuming that after the boil it does increase quite a bit.
Does anyone happen to know if there's a formula to adjust my gravity readings for a 60min, 90min, etc boil? If there's no formula does anyone know how much higher I can expect the gravity reading to increase?
Thanks so much! I've learned so much on this site.
