so either the lot analysis sheets were off or I mysteriously got really high efficiency(83% instead of 75) , but my 1.054 expected vienna lager actually came out 1.061 - I adjusted the hops on the fly and shot for an "elliot ness" clone instead, which also happens to be one of my favorite beers anyways, so all was fine.
however, I am about to throw my barleycrusher out...
