was i correct in assuming that the OG was off due to not enough water in the final wort? i.e. too much boiled off? |
Funny, I rounded up and they truncated. My actual calcs were 1.0115 and 1.0145.
That is the most likely thing that coulda done it. Although, you woulda had to have lost quite a bit due to boil off to get that high. Cold break and trub in the sample can also give false high gravity readings. I always manage to screw up temperature factors on warm readings too (calculation error?).
If you run short again you can always add plain, boiled water to the wort to top off prior to fermentation and after the boil.
Regardless, it'll be fine.
