This is the 2nd batch in a row when my calibrated OG is WAY higher than what the recipe states it should be. This time it was with a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale clone recipe. The OG estimate was 1.069. I plugged in all my ingredients into Beersmith and this number was confirmed. However, I took a reading and it was 1.080 @ 83 degrees F (which calibrated should be 1.083 I think).
I had 3.5 lbs. of grain (1 lb. of Caramel 90L and 2.5 lbs of 2-row) soaked between 150-160 degrees for 45 minutes as well as 7 lbs of extra pale liquid malt extract.
Any ideas?
