First post...Couldn't find an answer to this question, and i read these forums all the time.
Anyway, I just took a gravity reading on an IPA i was working on.
I used Wyeast 1056, with a starter. Plus i added a tsp of wyeast nutrient.
All grain (please ignore my efficiency...I'd rather not talk about it)
7lbs 2-row brewers
7lbs Pale Ale
.75lbs Carafoam
.75lbs Munich Type 1
.75lbs 2-row Caramel 40 L
75 Min Mash @ 150
+26oz Clear Candi Sugar
Starting gravity 1.074 (mash tun got clogged...almost cried)
the strange thing was the FG ended up at 1.001
Not really what I was going for, and I'm sure there's probably an obvious answer. Even if my Hydrometer is off, that would be off by a lot.
I mean, I'm not worried about it; it tastes pretty good...just has more of an alcohol burn.
