Hi,
When brewing yesterday I took a refractometer reading at flameout after whirlpooling and came up with a reading of 13.8. After having emptied by boil pot I took a reading from in the trub and got a reading of 14.6. Has anyone else experienced this and can suggest a possible cause?
I should point out that I used some chocolate in the boil and maybe there was some stratification in the boil pot but I would have thought that the whirlpool would cause homogenisation.
Anyway, any thoughts on the subject would be welcome.

Doh!, wrong location for post. Can someone tell me how to move the post to a more appropriate location like 'All grain and partials'. Ta Starkesbier
