I brewed a batch of Guinness last Friday (5 days ago) utilizing the recipe from BYO 250 clones. I hit the OG at 1.038 perfectly. The recipe in the magazine calls for a FG of 1.006 while Beersmith pegs it at 1.010. Gravity after 3 days was 1.016 and today it is 1.014 so fermentation has definitely slowed I'm doubting that I'm going to hit the FG numbers.
The only reason I'm bothered is that the Alcohol content is only about 3% with my numbers although granted, this isn't exactly a high ETOH brew even when the numbers are hit appropriately.
I'm going to leave it in the conical fermentor for another month or so, will the FG likely drop more with time? Are the numbers that I've achieved so far "good enough"?
