Hey all...Still new to this so bear with me if I'm not completely clear in what I'm talking about.
I brewed a Big Honkin Stout on June 30th, OG was 1.070. Dry pitched Safale 05 in it and it started churning in under 8 hours. By the third day, it was pretty much a constant bubble, then it all shut down, the krausen dropped and here I sit. I checked on it today and I'm at 1.021, which if I'm accurate in my understanding and using the calculators, is a 70% attenuation. I've been reading that Safale 05 should be 73-80+%.
So I guess I'll check it again in a couple days but just wanted to put this out there to see if I'm off base in my thinking.
Thanks all.
