SG readings of wort from tun

[jeezlebarf]

There may well be an obvious answer to this one but I do like obvious questions. I followed Scarer's recipe for Bombay IPA and she said to watch for the runnings from the mash tun reaching 1024 whereupon she stopped. Is that 1024 at the, likely, wort temperature of 60-65c? Or is it 1024 at 20c in which case it must be adjusted to ....errr......?

Youve got to clarify that with the brewer

I would say that was an adjusted figure as if you adjust 1.024 for 60c it works out at 1.039 which is way to high to stop sparging.

Edit - She's most likely to be using a refractometer as well to take these readings that will automatcally adjust for the temp. Using a hydrometer would take to long to take the samples.

Dont get me wrong...If you want to follow a recipe, then you need the exact temps,,etc
