Hi all,
First time brewer here, and I bottled some Pacific NW Pale from Brewcraft. After experiencing some problems (a 2000-word manifesto about how it all went down here via DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cllxot73kjv86fj/PostBrew1.docx) but nothing major, I found that my OG was lower than expected.. 1.044 vs. expected 1.051, I thought I'd get some weak sauce. As it turns out, when I racked my beer into the bottling vessel, I smelled a potent product. I measured the FG, and *$#& if I wasn't surprised I found that the expected FG of 1.011 was taken all the way down to 1.004. Welp, that equals the expected ABV of 5.33%.. Wha happen?? Clearly, the yeast ate everything. Thoughts?
