Is John your assistant brewer? :PYour first gravity reading had to be wrong somehow. Your gravity was probably correct and then you added DME to it and now it's too high.

This.Did you remember to do a temperature adjustment when you took your first reading?

That doesn't sound right. Unless you live on a mountain, that's colder than ambient. Should be in the 150-170°F range.Temp at the pre-boil reading was 65 degrees. I dunno...

If that's the case then he likely didn't stir it up before taking the sample. The wort stratified and he got a less dense sample from the top.Did he take a sample of the wort and cool it so he could get a good gravity reading?
