Hello there,
I bought Brewers Best Irish Stout Extract kit and brewed it 3-2-13. Then I bottled last night 3-22-13.
The Original Gravity was supposed to be between: 1.046-1.050 and the Final Gravity was supposed to be between: 1.011-1.014. My OG was 1.040 and my FG was 1.020. So my ABV was only 2.75%! It's supposed to be 4.2%?
I used this calc: (OG - FG) x 131.25 = ABV%
The fermentation was done after 20 days and I don't think that FG was gonna change any. It's bottled now and it tasted good
What would you guys suggest to fix this next time? I'm gonna be brewing a Cream stout (and will probably add coffee/vanilla) next month and want to get it more accurate.
Thanks,
Lorne
