I forgot to take my initial gravity. My final gravity was around 1.010. A little high, by the book. But I'm going with the quick start directions, and they called for 7 days. Would waiting longer get it down into the 1.003 - 1.009 range?
Bottling went smooth. A little monotonous, but that's to be expected. Beer looks a little cloudy, but I'm guessing that's normal. We left just under a half-gallon on the bottom of the fermenting bucket to avoid sediment.
I added a boiled mixture of 2/3 cup priming sugar in 1 cup water. I left about a good 1.5 - 2 inches on top of the bottles. Should I worry about bursting bottles due to my higher gravity?
I only had 48 bottles. So we had about a half gallon, little less, left in the bottling bucket. Sad to leave men behind, but such is.
Anyway, for my next batch, I'm going for the ultimate in hoppy aroma and flavor. Can anyone offer any tips on how to achieve this?
Thanks a bunch guys. Cheerz.
