I just set the air lock on my IPA. Everything went as always, untill I checked the Specific Gravity. It is standing on 1.102 WHAT?? am I ?? Wait...No, I'm not.
I stirred the wort and it is really 1.102. Right on 70 degrees, have glasses on.
Shouldn't this be about 1.050?
6.5 Pounds light LME
1 # Crystal Malt
1/2 # Victory
Steeped grain for 20 minutes at 165, add malt, boil, cut to 5 gallons.
Will ale yeast hold this much gravity?
I know...I know...RDWHAHB, BUT...Do I need to cut this down?
Thanks for the help.
