Hey all,
Quick ?...doin my 1st batch and it's a week into fermentation. Had a lot of good activity ie bubbles the 1st 24 hrs and I'm hopin the yeast did its job. Doin a pale ale by the way. So I took readings on my test jar in the beginning and got a OG of 1.045....just did another reading and my SG is reading 1.010 which makes it like 2% alcohol...which is not adding up. Either I messed somethin up w my original reading or somethin special needs to happen in the next week before I bottle...any thoughts as to why the SG so much lower. Thx for the input.
