Hop Back Entire Stout Hydro Reading?

Post by WishboneBrewery » Sat Apr 18, 2009 5:47 pm

Would you say this OG is 1064?
The FG is 1020, pretty sweet tasting when I bottled today.
Meaning its about ABV: 5.78% and maybe make a bit more in bottle, I wonder if a different yeast would have been better and attenuated more?

looks slightly more to me 1065, or 1066

you ignore the higher bit that clings to the hydro

The Meniscus ;) I was trying to guesstimate below that.
That would make it ABV: 6.04% which would be plenty enough for me :), I'll be interested to see how its flavours develops over the next few weeks.
I suppose i'm best leaving this for a good 6 weeks before cracking open a bottle.
