I brewed an American rye ale today. Extract and partial mash (mini-mash). BeerSmith est.OG was 1.044. Measured OG was 1.061. Waaaay above target. I know that I followed the recipe exactly. I measured OG with a calibrated hydrometer AND a calibrated digital refractometer (brix 14.9).
Mashed 1 lb. of rye malt and 1 lb. of cara-pils in a grain bag in a 1 gal. cooler with 2.5 qts. water. Added 5 lbs. 5 oz. of american light LME and 4 oz. of light DME to the boil. 6.25 gal. in the fermenter.
I exported the recipe to the cloud, file name = 10. Bye-Bye Miss American Rye
Am I doing something wrong in my recipe formulation? Or is this a program problem?
