Ummmmm. Well, last night I brewed a Framboise Lambic. Unfortunately, I got into a bit of the homebrew, then a bit more . Pitched the yeast, then realized I forgot to take an OG. I had done a starch conversion test with iodine before I sparged and it looked great. I used 7# pale, and 3# wheat flakes. Finished brewing around 11 PM.
This morning I woke up and found about 1/2 inch of krausen and bubbling like mad. I took a grav and got 33 and had a heart attack:cross: . Upon resusitation by the paramedics I pondered the 33 in light of the 50 target OG, and had another heart attack:cross: .
I don't get it. I was religious with temps, preheating the mash tun, etc.. Could the grav have dropped significantly in the matter of the first 8 hours? Could my OG have been much higher last night than the 33 that I got this am? Is this a do over ?
