    Top cropping.. was it wise in this case?

    Original gravity way off what was stated.

    Hi there, I recently brewed a big IPA and used 4.37kg of dme and 237g of crystal malt (60), which should have given a s.g of 1.091 in 17 litres. There was probably 19 litres in the kettle but the hops absorbed 2 litres or so. Even so it says on the recipe builder that I should have hit 1.082 if...
