My first batch is in bottles and conditioning in a closet, which means I have empty fermentors right now, and that's just no good.
I've been looking at a Scottish Wee Heavy kit on Northern Brewer's website for my second batch, and I have a question about some of the numbers listed with it:
The analysis predicts the OG to be 1.089. The yeast listed with the kit ingredients (Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale) has an apparent attenuation of 69-73%. The attenuation percentage has to do with how much of the sugar the yeast will consume, right? So how do I apply my attenuation number to my OG number to predict a FG range?
My guess was that I apply my attenuation number to the ".089" part of my OG, which, assuming around 70% attenuation, gives me a FG of around 1.027. Is that right?
