I brewed an APA yesterday. I built a recipe within the software, utilizing the pre programmed equipment profiles. I adhered to the water volumes expressed by the software for the mash and sparging. I took a gravity reading pre boil and I was off from what was calculated. The software indicated a pre boil gravity of 1.060, my actual was 1.043. I knew something was off. After the boil, I ended up with 6 gallons of wort. It should have been just over 5. I understand this is the reason for the lower gravity reading. What I am puzzled by is why I ended up with a larger volume after the boil than what was calculated. Any input would be appreciated!
