Hello fellow brewers!
I just brewed an IPA that started at 1.068 and finished at 1.008, measured with hydrometer (abv 7.5 +). I was aiming for a 1.012 finish (not sure why though).
Concerned about this beer having over-attenuated, I had a bit of a read about apparent and real attenuation.
Based on what I read, the real FG of this beer, taking in consideration the alcohol in it, is around 1.019.
So what do you use to asses your attenuation after you've taken all the readings? I don't know if this beer finished high @1.019 or finished low @1.008!
thanks
