Ok, so this is really strange. I split my 12 gallon all-grain batch into two 6.5 gallon carboys and after 3 weeks fermenting, one is at 1.008 and the other is at 1.018....what gives?
So now the details:
So now the details:
- Its an all-grain double american IPA which was calculated to come out at 7.4%ABV
- I used a 1800ml starter (as usual) made two days before.
- The carboy which did not fully ferment had between 0.5 to 1.0 gallons extra versus the carboy that went down to 1.008
- The taste is very similar, but the one at 1.018 with significantly more sugar taste (as expected)
- When cooling down from brew kettle (through counter-flow-chiller) the wort hose was alternated between each carboy multiple times to get an 'equal' wort...ultimately ending, and leaving, the 1.018 carboy with more wort
- I don't taste any infection in either one
