I did not hit my SG. As a consequence I used the "Adjust Gravity" tool for the first time.
I added 500g DME to achieve the SG. I wanted to ensure I did not contaminate the wort so boiled it in water.
Target SG 1.060
Measured SG 1.050
Add 500g DME to achieve Target SG.
Added 1.2L water in order to boil DME in.
Effectively it looks like the 1.2L brings down SG by 0.003 so therefore my additions brought my SG to 1.057 rather than 1.060.
Is it possible to have an additional field in the "Adjust Gravity" tab ("Water added to DME:"?) that takes into account the additional water that the DME is mixed in? In my case, this would have told me to add an additional 150g of DME.
