Need sanity check on og/fg reading

[gtibrews2]

Here is a pic....can someone tell me what my abv is?????

4.2% if those readings are corrected for the temperature at which you took the sample.

ABV = (OG - FG) * 131.25. So.... 4.2

 

[m1k3]

1.056 to 1.024 = 4.2%ABV or 3.3%ABW

55.8% ADT (apparent attenuation)
45.7% RDT (real attenuation)

That's going to be some thick sweet stuff there

 

[gtibrews2]

Correction....I wrote down 1.60....so the 1.56 is not right sorry for the mess up.


So OG: 1.060

Fg:1.024

It's the all grain zombie dust clone...should I add some extract to get it up a bit

4.7% then

It's been 4 days with S-04 at 64F....is it too early to think that could be my final gravity

 

[rtracer]

Yes, way too early. You do not want your FG to be that high. That thing should get down to the 1.010-1.013 range I would assume.

Why does anyone even take a gravity reading so soon? I read this all the time one here and it boggles my mind. Let the yeast do it's thing. So you opened up the fermenter, risked infection, to find out that it's not done after 4 days? Let it sit for at least 2 weeks, if not 3 and it will be done. Bottle or keg.

I know it's silly.....I just heard s-04 works so fast.
