Hi! I've been brewing all grain for a few years now, only on my second brew with a new Spike 15gal system. I made my first Tripel today, just a 5 gallon batch. The Beersmith 3 software says my OG should be 1.083, but I only got to 1.070. Beersmith said my Pre-boil SG should be 1.062, I hit 1.065 and was right on my pre-boil volume with the end of running gravity at 1.012. I added 2lb of Candi Sugar (0L) into the boil for the last 10 minutes. I cannot find any reason for missing the target OG unless possibly its something to do with the Candi Sugar? So my questions are, why didnt I hit 1.083 and should I do anything about it, or just live with the lower OG?
Thanks!
Recipe:
12lb pale malt
1/2lb aromatic malt
2oz Goldings (60 minutes)
1oz Saaz (10 minutes)
2lb Candi Sugar 0L (10 minutes)
