only a 1hr15 boil and undershot the gravity by a lot. 1.032, but i got the full 5 gallon/23litre batch in the fermenter.
the hops have been there a few weeks now so i'm allowing for a bit of tailing off of the bittering power and i'd rather overshoot the ibu's than undershoot.

thanks daab.

1.032 is more around what milds generally are anyway.

you were right daab. bit high on the ibu's , but tastes very nice anyway.
1.032 og to 1.000 final.

1.000???? Are you sure? I'd seriously check your hydrometer.

I was thinking the same, maybe its calibrated for 16c and you are measuring at 20c. Though I dont know if that would have the effect of registering a lower SG or a Higher one.

Put your hydrometer in some tap water - what does it read?

brewsters millionths · Post by **brewsters millionths** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 6:41 pm

yep. ten point underread. so that will be 1.042 down to 1.010
checked with tap water and against the glass one. (plastic boots type before)
