Guys
The beers i turn out are very drinkable and generally I find Beersmith easy to use. One thing still confuses me and given its repeatable with each brew I am guessing its a setting i have inputted
My OG going into the boiler ( i.e out of mash tun) is always higher than the target OG by a few points, however post boil its always lower than target by a few points.
The volume of wort out of the mash tun into the boiler is generally not too far off. I may have to add a few hundred mls of water to top up the pre boil volume but always take the reading after I do this to compare like for like i.e a lower volume of water would give a higher OG...
Why during the boil off would a higher than expected gravity become a lower than expected gravity ?
If the above makes as much sense as a chocolate teapot then please ask and I'll try to clarify.
Thanks for any help
