So I have an IPA going in the primary right now, been there about 4 days. Everything is going fine, regular bubbling in the airlock, nice krausen foam on top.
I took a sample earlier to measure the ABV and OG with my hydrometer. Appears to have gone down a ton since the day of the brew. The ABV decreased from 9% to 4.5%. Is this normal, will it start to increase as it ferments longer or am I just going to have a weak brew?
