Hey all,
I just brewed a Sierra Nevada clone on my Grainfather. Followed all instructions to a T, but my OG came out 3-4 points too high and my FG is about the same.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Chris

Re: Grainfather recipe problem?
If you're saying your OG and your FG were both off by about the same amount the first thing I would look at is your hydrometer. Put it in distilled water at the calibrated temperature of the hydrometer (or just measure the temperature and use a correction factor). I'm betting you'll find out your hydrometer is off a little.
That said, even if your OG and/or your FG are really 3-4 points off, that is very very likely nowhere near perceptible to 99.9% of people. This is firmly in RDWHAH territory.

Ah! Great thought! I use a Tilt hydrometer so I'll check when I remove it from the fermenter. I usually check the cal before I brew but forgot to this time. I have found in the past it can be off.
thanks again!
thanks again!
