However after my 60 minute boil the OG was 10 points off, and I got exactly 5.5 gallons into my fermenter with minimal wort left in the kettle. Would think that boiling a wort with a specific pre-boil gravity would result in close to what beersmith would have said. My only though is that maybe the wort in the fermenter wasn't completely mixed as the sample I drew off the bottom was lower and almost the same as pre-boil and the sample i drew off the top was the 1.060 below,

roundcubeten said:First wort hops are added to the kettle during runoff, immediately after Vorlauf, and allowed to steep in the hot wort as the mash is sparged. Once the full volume of wort has been collected, then the boil proceeds as usual. Those first wort hops, then, might remain in hot wort for as long as two hours.
