Hi All,
I finally made my first all-grain but I'm a little worried that it is turning into a disaster.
I transfered it into a pressure barrel today after it has been in two different fermenting bins for the past 2 weeks (I can go into far more detail if needed). I measured the gravity right at the beginning and it read 1.020. After I transferred it into the pressure barrel with some sugar and it read 1.010.
Admitedly, I have only just put it into the pressure barrel today and I have another 7 days to go according to the recipe, but two things are worrying me:
1. According to a calculation I found on the internet, my ABV will be 1% !
2. It doesn't taste good.
Re point 1, the calculation I am using is as follows:
1.05 x (OG - FG) / 1.02 x 100
So, in my case, 1.05 x (1.02 - 1.01) / 1.02 x 100 = 1.02
Can anyone give me any thoughts please? As I mentioned before, I can go into far more detail about what I have done from start to finish. As per advice I have seen on these forums I have noted down exactly what I have done step by step.
Mnay thanks in advance,
Pwn.
