tangent said:bigd sample was from the tap
hydrometer is saying 1.075 ??
edit -that's a big beer for just over 5kg of grain/crystal

tangent said:ok, I've done a refractometer reading before fermentation kicks in.
20.5 Brix
that's 1.086 SG!! :blink:
My software suggests it should be around 1.048 :huh: ????
Even if I had 100% efficiency, it still wouldn't be that high. I'm estimating 70% efficiency.
I tried my refractometer with plain water and it's reading zero, so it shouldn't be a calibration problem.
What the hell is going on??????

I've mashed with well over 9 kilos of grain in that type of tun, I would not be too concerned
