Hi All
First off - you all are outstanding. I dont think that I have had to wait for more than 1-2 minutes for answers to any of my questions since I have become a member. An EXCELLENT community.
Here are my questions.
(1) My first beer was an American Amber Ale from NB. It had an expected OG of 1.047 and I came in at 1.053. The FG ended up at 1.013 which gives an attenuation of 77%. Is 77% good/bad/average? Any comments on the fact that my OG was a little high?
(2) My second was a Brown Ale that had an OG of 1.061 and after 9 days and the kraussen settling the gravity is now at 1.017 which puts it currently at 72%. This is the first hydrometer reading I have taken since racking to primary so am not sure if it is done... I will check again in a couple days. But I guess it is not a big deal since I am just going to let it sit in primary and not go with a secondary this time after reading some on the subject.
So I guess what I am looking for is some feedback on attenuation of my two beers and any comments etc.
Thanks
JASON
