I can't seem to figure this out but I find my pre-boil gravity always higher than expected but my post boil is right on. For instance yesterday I brewed a 1.059 Czech Pilsner with an expected pre-boil gravity of 1.043, it measured at 1.051 with a volume of 16.4 gallons. I measured with two different hydrometers and a refractometer, all were within .002 so I trust the readings. I boil down to my 13.4 gallons which is my expected volume after a 90 minute boil. Took my OG readings and they were right on according to BS at 1.059.
This isn't the only time this has happened, it happens almost every brew session. My pre-boil is always higher than expected but after the boil the gravity is right on.
Any ideas as to why this is? Could it be a setting somewhere?
