I brewed this Saturday night, and even with dry yeast, by Sunday morning my blow off was rocking and rolling!
I have a question about the included instructions. The target OG was said to be 1.040 - 1.050. My actual OG was 1.056.
The target FG is said to be 1.017 - 1.020.
Using 1.017/1.040 and 1.020/1.050 would give an attenuation of 57.5% to 60%. That seems really low for all the beers I've done so far. If I went to 1.018 from my 1.056, that would give me an attenuation of 68%.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to what my FG should be?
This is supposed to be a quick brew. I'm thinking it will be done with primary tomorrow night. Then I'll rack it and let it sit in secondary for 3 days, then bottle. As long as my FG is in the right place, is that rushing it? As long as my FG is appropriate, I won't get bottle bombs, right?
Thanks!
