So has anyone had a big difference in OG from calculated to actual OG? I used the recipe builder feature of this site for the first time and did a partial mash brew yesterday of a Brown Ale, that according to the recipe calculator should have been an approximate OG of 1.068; When I checked the OG with my trusty Hydrometer before I pitched the yeast it showed an OG of 1.106....! That is a huge difference!, I dumped that sample, swirled the carboy to make sure that it was well mixed and checked again, with the same results....Anyone else have a problem like that with the recipe builder?? If that's correct I am looking at a potential ABV of 11.68%.......not the 6.6% I had originally planned and calculated.....
