poodles! in before the lock. etc.Nope. In order for something to affect gravity, it has to be dissolved into solution.

If you have pellet hops floating around in your hydro sample, yes they will affect the gravity reading. Take the reading before you add the hops.When taking the pre boil gravity reading when you are also first wort hopping wont the hops affect the gravity of the wort or is this taken for granted in what you are looking for.Dan

That's tough to do with FWH. B)I don't bother when that is the case.If you have pellet hops floating around in your hydro sample, yes they will affect the gravity reading. Take the reading before you add the hops.

When I first wort hop the only thing in the kettle when I add hops is air.Shouldn't be that hard. Just get the sample before you add the hops to the kettle. Or pull the tubing off of the kettle long enough to grab a sample.

I haven't noticed that. Next time I FWH with pellets, I'll take gravity reading both before and after adding them.If you have pellet hops floating around in your hydro sample, yes they will affect the gravity reading. Take the reading before you add the hops.

Yes do. You'll see that if they're still in suspension, the hydrometer must lift them, which makes it float higher and read a higher gravity. When all that stuff settles out, the hydrometer will sink and read lower.I haven't noticed that. Next time I FWH with pellets, I'll take gravity reading both before and after adding them.

I don't understand - when are you guys adding your first wort hops?Two cups at my place, one with tap water, one with about 8 dissolved pellets in tap water. Same temp - 1.000 . I don't think the particles are fine enough. Of course n=1Yes do. You'll see that if they're still in suspension, the hydrometer must lift them, which makes it float higher and read a higher gravity.

when are you adding them?I have always put them in the kettle before mash runoff, they are in there when the first wort comes from the tun.I don't understand - when are you guys adding your first wort hops?Two cups at my place, one with tap water, one with about 8 dissolved pellets in tap water.

The same, first thing in the kettle. I'm reading posts above that you can take a gravity before adding the FWH addition. I guess you could if you were no sparging and caught some of the initial runoff for a gravity reading.when are you adding them?I have always put them in the kettle before mash runoff, they are in there when the first wort comes from the tun.

You're right. I'm a dumbass. Should still affect gravity though if they're suspended. However by the time you measure pre-boil gravity it will be so dilute that it won't matter.The same, first thing in the kettle.

should they not be saturated, and thus equal to the wort in density?these discussions never get oldYou're right. I'm a dumbass. Should still affect gravity though if they're suspended.
