So i've been brewing for a few years and the last two batches have really thrown me for a loop. i take my SG reading pre-boil and then before pitching the yeast. i always correct for the temp of the wort. well today while brewing my IPA my preboil SG was 1.061 and it was to be 1.062 so i felt good. Then i boiled, hit my goal of 6.5 gallons, took another SG reading...and corrected for the temp and i'm at 1.064. i boiled off over a gallon?!? what in the world am i doing wrong. my post boil SG was to be around 1.072.
this happened to the stout i made last weekend as well. any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or not taking into consideration? I correct for the temp always.
