Hello all,
A few weeks back i brewed the IBA recipe from the extreme brewing book.
The OG listed in the book was 1.070. I started with a 6 gallon boil and ended up with about 4.75 gallons and never topped it off with more water. My OG was 1.077. I left it in the primary for 2 weeks and took a reading while transferring it to the secondary and it was still at 1.022. After about 2 weeks in the secondary it is still at 1.022, and now its down below 4.5 gallons after leaving the sediment behind and the taking of samples. I have another pack of the ringwood ale yeast that i plan on repitching with, but would like some input before i do. I was also thinking of adding more water to bring it closer to the 5 gallon mark and maybe adding a little extra brown sugar as the recipe called for 8oz at the end of the boil. Any info helps.
Thanks, James
