Is this nutz or normal

I just finished brewing 80 gallons. I had an og of 1.072 and 2 days later its 1.010.
I used a 5 gallon pitch.
Correct me if I am wrong but this is almost completely fermented right

Yuri_Rage · Nov 2, 2009

That's completely normal. You had a very vigorous fermentation, and it's nearly complete. Still, leave it alone for a week or so before dumping the trub or racking.

Cold_Steel · Nov 2, 2009

So most of the vigorous heat has ended to correct? I can now start it in the warm at around 63 and build to 68 over time right?

Yuri_Rage · Nov 2, 2009

Temperature changes will have a lesser effect at this point. If you need to shut down your cooling system, it would be an ok time to do so.

SWEET! thanks for the help

And how someone with an 80 gallon system would be seeking this information . . .

Sweet Jesus! I sure hope you like whatever you made... you'll be drinking it for a LONG time!

No ****.

What's NUTZ is brewing the 80 gallons of beer when you aren't even familiar with attenuation potentials.

Way to go!

I'd seen all your build threads and question threads, but hadn't seen one saying you'd made a batch...glad it's going well.

I certainly admire the guts.

most of us make a 5 gallon batch - Cold_Steel pitches with 5 gallons of yeast! :tank:

Nice! ... 80 gallons...Boldly done. Let us know if you need any help when it hits the taps. At about 8% alcohol that one could take a while to finish.

well i feel confident enough to say this now. But making beer is like sex. you dont have to know every single thing about it. You just need to stick it in, stir it around and wait for that warm and fuzzy feeling.

On a serious note. I think every single one of you over the last year has helped me get here thank you so much. This site, experience its all just the best!
