Hi there,
making my first 2 real dark beers here, after a year of mostly IPAs and such…
have a few questions: (both extract kits, made by recipe)
St Paul Porter OG 1052, G after 2 weeks 1018, attenuation about 64% so far, at 66*, bubbling only about once per minute, slowing down
*if my volume is about 7% more than 5 gal, how does that affect G reading?
*I secondary everything, but thinking here, just leave in primary another week or 2?, seems like FG should be about 1013. no worries about clarity here?
*it tastes really good so far.
Dry Irish Stout, OG 1042, G after 9 days 1020 at 66*, bubbling about once per minute.
*same as above, another inch or more above my 5 gal mark… affect G reading?
*probably don’t need to secondary here either?
*FG at least 1013?
*also tastes very very good for such a simple recipe, wow.
thanks for any thoughts and or advice!
Mel
