We brewed the free NB Peace 2nd Crack Coffee Stout on the 7th. So after almost 2 weeks I took a gravity sample last night. The beer is very good and both my daughter (stout lover) and her husband (on 4th plate at the Flying Saucer) loved the sample! I'm pretty happy cause this is just my second 5 gallon batch
Our starting gravity measured 1.068 and last nights sample was 1.020. The FG target is 1.018. I figure it needs a bit more time in the fermenter regardless of the gravity, but I am curious and still learning. If the gravity is stable at 1.020 instead of getting down to 1.018 is that an issue? How much of a miss of final gravity is normal?
Thanks,
