Pre Boil Gravity Adjustment for Temperature - HELP

Notlaw · Apr 14, 2016

I've taken a pre boil gravity reading, but forgot to cool it to 20ÃÂ°C first. :doh:

Is there a calculation to work out what it should actually read? Or have you guys got the knowledge to know roughly what it should be?

Temperature was around 60ÃÂ°C and the reading was 1.040 if anyone can help.

Well you can always use this calc and dilute the wort if it ends up being too strong after the boil

Yeah, I might to that. I did it with my last one that I bottled yesterday and it finished as a very pleasant 4.7%. A nice strength I reckon.

Just be aware when you dilute the wort strenght you also dilute the IBU's so you might want to chuck in some more hops as say 15 mins to up the IBUs
