So I just brewed another back of my Migratory Coconut Stout, It's an oatmeal stout, probably the 6th time I've brewed it, and I change 1 little thing each batch to perfect it.
Brewed on 5/26, checked and got:
OG 1.065 - right in line
6/1 - 1.021
6/4 - 1.018
6/6 - 1.016
6/7 & 8 - 1.015
All measured with my hydrometer, all at 68F, decided it was time to keg (we have a party on 6/24 and wanted to have time to carb)
This time I decided to add my coconut in stainless "dry hopper". Added in 1.5 lbs of heavily toasted coconut, and 3 oz of Brewers best coconut flavor, because people seem to like (and I love) the huge punch of coconut.
Took a taste today, and dear god is it sweet...like sweeter than I'd ever expect, nothing like it was going in. So I figure wth take another sample.
Pull a sample and I'm getting 1.036... HOLY CRAP I can't believe that the coconut and the flavor added THAT much to a 5.25 gallon batch. What the heck...did I bump my head and measure the FG wrong before kegging? Am I just going Crazy...and any ideas what I can do?
