Hello,
I just finished bottling my first ever all grain recipe I created. I have always done extract brews and finally graduated to all grain.
I have had this beer fermenting for 15 days. It had a OG of 19 Brix (1.079). It’s FG is 11 Brix (1.022). Final ABV is 7.48%. I use a refractometer for my calculations and I calibrated it using distilled water. I also used a calculator online to figure out the correct FG using a refractometer. Apparent attenuation is 71 percent.
The yeast I used is Safale US-05. I created the recipe on brewers friend and it said I should have reached 1.016 for FG. I did readings 2 days in a row and it was the same. I also had a mash temp between 156-160 degrees Fahrenheit. I was trying for a mash temp of 152 and tried hard to get it right but didn’t work out too well.
I also fermented between 58 and 63 degrees Fahrenheit for the whole 15 days.
My question is will I have bottle bombs? I bottled with having about 2.5 volumes of CO2 using 1 Domino sugar cube per bottle.
Luckily I have the bottles in a container covered with a lid. I just don’t want to lose my precious beer I worked hard to create
Thank you in advance for your replies!
Cheers!
