I'll look into this advanced formula. And I don't need to be super accurate... Good enough is good enough. I just want to know.

Yeah... I got around there too on a few tools online. I guess I'm not sure what the most accurate or best way is. My tilt readings give me ~9% and other calculations are closer to 10-10.5%

I wanted to post an update in here and say thank you all for the help. It appears (at least for right now) that the yeasts were just behaving differently. Here's a pic of the colors now - this is immediately after moving from fermenter to keg (pulled some for samples). The one on the left is the...

Hello, everyone. I'm relatively new to this, and I think I might be thinking too much into this. I have quite a few different numbers and I'm trying to get my ABV on a batch of beer I made. It was a 5 gallon recipe that I split into two batches and pitched different yeasts, so I have two ABVs to...

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to drop a quick note in here and let everyone know my experience with the new Oktober can seamer they have out. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, and no complaints. My buddy has the SL1 and I've used it a few times, so I was somewhat familiar with Oktober...

Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can get a good sample through the airlock and check where it's at. As for the other one, I'll just wait and see where it stops at. I'm in S FL so keeping it warm isn't much of a struggle. The TILT is reading 71-72 degrees right now, so right where you're...

The other ones that finished quicker weren't this high in gravity. the last IPA I made started at 1.065 and got down to 1.011. This one doesn't appear to be going that low...

I think for this one since I don't have 4 kegs, I'm going to dry hop through the airlock as you suggested, and then try and get a racking cane through the airlock and transfer into my kegs that way

I feel like I might have ruined this batch of beer - everything I'm reading says I should have used a yeast started since it was a higher gravity beer. This is my first batch adding corn sugar but thought it would have been fine since I split the batch into two - thinking the smaller batch size...

yeah, this was before the yeast was pitched. I pulled some wort before and after my 2 lbs of sugar were added, and before the yeast was pitched. After the sugar but before the yeast I was getting 1.091 on my refractometer (calibrated with distilled water) but once I dropped my Tilt in there, it...

I think I've been doing it semi-right. On the last IPA I brewed I was transferring from the spigot on the bucket into the OUT valve on my keg (after keg was purged) and releasing the pressure with the pressure release valve as the keg was filling up. I ran into an issue where I didn't have...

Copy on the above, I'll leave the Tilt where it's at. Yes, I have a tank of CO2 in the garage for when I keg it.

You guys see any risk in moving the Tilt to the other one to see how it reads? Or do you think it's not worth the risk of opening it up and losing the CO2 in that bucket? I've never had two fermenting at the same time, so never needed two Tilts before...

The cosmic punch does appear to be fermenting still. I have a Tilt in that one and it's still working its way down. It started at 1.083 on the Tilt and was at 1.024 last night, and is now reading 1.022. I was getting higher SG readings on my refractometer (1.091 consistently), so I'm not sure...
