| Apr 29, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | Jared Meyering | I'm not sure what else to tell you. Simple answer to the question. - It Can't. Which means it was either insufficiently mixed, an error with the refractometer, or incorrectly read. | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 17:47 | comment | added | markus | :-) we are maximally certain that this was not the case since we logged constantly. | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 16:28 | comment | added | GHP | Occam's Razor would probably be applied here to say that you jotted down the numbers in the wrong order, and it was actually 1.058 pre-boil and 1.068 post-boil ;) | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 15:56 | comment | added | markus | Both pre-boil and post-boil readings were taken with refractometer and sample temp. allowed to adjust to room temp by waiting. | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 15:47 | comment | added | Jared Meyering | Same temperature for both samples? | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 15:38 | comment | added | markus | We took that gravity with a refractometer from the chilled wort (about 20 degrees). | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 15:27 | comment | added | Jared Meyering | The whirlpool would not effect the reading. What temperature(s) did you take your gravity at? what temp is your hydrometer calibrated at? | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 14:05 | comment | added | markus | So the question is maybe: How to measure post-boil gravity if whirlpool is used after the boil. Maybe mix the wort after the boil, measure, then start the whirlpool? | |
