10 hours on dry yeast isn't near enough time to even begin to worry - much less bother with a gravity reading. That said, your gravity reading is wrong as I'm 99.999999% sure you didn't get a 44 point drop in 10 hours with any yeast, much less dry....

Yes, something's not right here.

Well, folks, got home from work today and the batch in the carboy is really beautiful! Nice layer of foam, and you can see a nice slow churn going on. Revvy, I appreciate your comments, I'm sure you know more about this than I ever will. As for comments about the rapidity of the drop in SG and that my reading must be wrong, I don't know what to say. But I read it last night and again this morning, and what I reported is what I read. However, I'm not going to "waste" any more of that beautiful elixir until the churn stops and I start thinking the ferm is over. And I will do my best to ignore the airlock.

Just noticed I don't have any beer in my fridge. I heard you can find something like it at the store... ;-)

Stranger things have happened, but if it is an extract batch, the reading could be off because the wort and top-off water haven't completly blended yet. If there's a lot of water added at the end of the boil, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

I've also had beers completly ferment in roughly 48 hours and that's 48 hours between taking the SG and the FG. It could've been done for longer for all I know.

Sounds like incomplete stirring and mixing of extract to me, but that's just conjecture. Anyway, I'm glad to hear all is well now.
