So, to cut a long story short, my last several batches have all read the same pre boil gravity no matter what the grain bill.
I have mostly been doing no sparge on an all in one system and after hearing from the guys on Jim's beer Kit ( forum over here in the UK )
everybody says I must be measuring wrong or doing something wrong.
Tonight I have brewed a Stout with just a smidge over 6kg of grain.
I done this batch by sparging this time and guess what my pre boil gravity was....... 1.044, the same as all my other previous batches, so long as I have enough grain to at least get it to that point.
Anyhow my post boiler gravity is pretty much always about 2 points over pre boil even though I am boiling off over 4 litres of wort.
Everybody says it's impossible to have those reading, and I know that, they also say can't be an issue with my Hydro.
It reads 1.000 in water @ 20°c, however this evening I have noticed that the reading label inside the hydro is damp, so surely this would mean the hydro is cracked and would cause a lower reading? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Cheers
