![]() ![]() 5.75 actually went into the fermenter, and I left a good bit of trub in the kettle. I did correct for temp (I think it was 72 or so for pre-boil and 70 for post boil, IIRC)Ģ. I'm using a hydrometer, and I know I could be off a bit due to my noob-ness. My pot and the weight of it should be correct, though.ġ. Speaking of, most of the values I entered were based on suggestions I found on forums (probably mostly here or homebrewtalk), so the trub loss, etc. Haha, sorry about that, I didn't realize I could do that until you mentioned it. (6) also, how are you measuring your volumes in the kettle? Did you make a dip stick or are you relying on a premarked scale on your pot? It is too easy to get a poor reading from either a dirty prizm or stratified wort. Likewise, if you took readings with a refractometer, I always recommend taking the readings at least three times stirring well between sampling. (5) If you know your starting volume is greater than around 6.9 gallons, then the issue may come down to a bad reading on the gravity measurements, either by pulling a bad sample or measuring hot wort and trying to correct it to calibration temperature of your hydrometer. In either case, you lost only around 0.2 gallons in your boil off. 416 total points / 62 gravity points = 6.71 gal starting volume. Even if I consider that you had the 0.75 gal of trub in the calculation, then (5.75 + 0.75) = 6.5 gal * 64 points = 416 total points. ![]() 368 total points / 62 gravity points pre boil = 5.94 gallons pre-boil. (4) conversely, if your ending gravity reading is correct, then you had 5.75 gal * 64 gravity points = 368 total points. 415.4 total points / 5.75 gallons = 72 gravity points or a gravity going into the fermenter of 1.072. If you are even close to the 6.99 pre-boil volume from your equipment profile, like let's say 6.7 gallons from the mash the 6.7 gal x 62 gravity points = 415.4 total points. I am guessing that the math would indicate that one of your measurements is off. (3) It looks like your ending place is pretty close to where you wanted to be at 5.75 gal (assuming that this is end of boil volume) and though I cannot read where you started (pre-boil volume), you should have gained more gravity points. (2) you ended up with 5.75 gal, is that into the fermenter or end of boil? If into the fermenter, how much trub did you have left behind? (1) are you taking your gravity readings with a hydrometer or refractometer? If with a hydrometer, what temperature is the wort when taking the readings. It will also give us a better chance of chasing down where things are going wrong. bsmx file as the screen shots are too small for my poor old eyes to make out the figures on them. First a suggestion: Please save the recipe and post it as a.
