I just brewed a 5 gal batch AG of a Founder's Breakfast Stout Clone and had no problems with a 1.065 pre-boil gravity, which according to my calculations should give me a wort of 1.083 (which is still low efficiency, but I was happy with it). Well, I just sampled it and it is reading 1.073 which doesn't make sense to me. This was 6.3 gallons pre-boil @ 1.065 and a hair under 5 gallons post-boil. I did not aerate, but there is no top-off so that shouldn't matter. Maybe it does need to be mixed. Has anyone ever had a pre-boil and post boil not match using the normal formulas? If so, what would cause this?

#1 Chocolate
22 oz Flaked Oats
12 oz Roasted Barley
9 oz Black Patent
7 oz Crystal 120
Some coffee and chocolate with a low IBU hop schedule, nothing crazy.
