    Gravity Question

    What kit are you measuring gravity with? Sounds like pre boil measurement off. Always measure sample at same temp as calibration solution. Dont let measuring device get hot. 'Scoop up' a sample from the bottom of kettle, to get a good sample Measure 3 times and use average
