my school closed down today becase of snow up here in NH so it was going to be the perfect brew day as well, i only had one class but the excuse was perfect plus my wort chiller just got more efficient (more snow on the deck).
My other brew has been in the primary for a week so i went to take the SG and it was way to high 1.025 ( Og 1.062). Damn, brew day is over i guess ill just read about AG all day instead.
I looked at it yesterday and there was lots of dried trub around the top edge of the bucket no foam on top and pieces of trub floating on top. TOday there was alittle bit of faom not much though. when i put it back in the closet it bubbled fora few minutes but then stopped, i havnt had any airlock activity for three or four days i imagine it is still fementing as ive read here many times. My Og was 1.062 the recippe i had called fora 1.044 im not sure if the recippe was wrong but wondering if the high OG could result ina high FG. and also i should definlty wait till fermentation is done to rack to secondary right ? its beena week (1-2-3) method i know i can just take af ew readings over afew days but i dont like the risk of contamination/loss of beer to taking multiple readings
it sure wwould have been nice to brew today
