I just made a pale ale, all northern brewer hops, 50/50 two row and munich with S-04 yeast slurry. The hydrometer is about 1.019 in the beer, but then I filled up the cylinder with water, and that was at about 1.004. (Beer and the water are both about 60F, which is what the hydrometer is calibrated for... supposedly)
Could I just call the FG 1.015? Does munich malt ferment dry? I've never used it before.
The other thought is that I didn't have enough O2, didn't make a starter, and probably didn't pitch enough slurry, I pitched about 4oz.
The OG was measured at 1.058, fyi.
Annnnd, the reason for making this was to see if the hops had gone bad. I've never used NB hops before though, so what should I look for to tell if they went bad or not? They smell nice
Thanks guys.
