Sbarnard, I had the same issue of a high final gravity. I chalked mine up to low efficiency on the front end (had a low initial gravity) and not enough yeast during fermentation. I'll probably toss two packs of yeast next time since I don't have the stuff for starters just yet.

I took a final gravity reading of the beer; it came in at 1.020. So.. my beer's original gravity was a little low, presumably because my efficiency was poor, and the final is a little high either due to not enough fermentables or not enough yeast. It still tasted great and I'm sure it'll be a...

Awesome! Let us know how it goes! I just put mine in the primary a couple days ago and it's happily bubbling every few seconds.

It doesn't look like it'll be too soon to be drinkable, but maybe not quite as good as if it aged a little longer.

I just brewed this yesterday! My birthday was Sunday and was given new home brew goodies to play with. We built a MLT, immersion cooler, and set up a turkey fryer. After a trip to the LHBS for the ingredients they were all put to good use in my first all grain brew - extract IPA and BIAB...
