Hello,
I made the AHS Anniversary English Pale Ale. Reading has been the same the last 2 days, so transfered to secondary. I used the Danstar Windsor British Style dry yeast, since there was no advice as to what kind of dry yeast to use.
For this extract kit, OG is 1.051, FG is 1.014. Mine was 1.058 and 1.019. I also used the Brew vent abv boost for an extra 1%. The kit did not say what the ABV should be, but with the gravity given for it, it works out to 4.8. My final ABV is 5.10. This was the first time i used the brew vent, vint? I can see it did not raise it 1%, not even half of that.
Has anybody else used this extra boost? and if so, did it raise a whole 1%? Did i do something wrong? I know my primary was fermented at a higher temp., which i found out a couple days later. 78-80. Only other thing i put in my boil was irish moss, and i did put the vent in while boiling.
One more thing, i had to make this in 2 pots, if that matters. Thanks!
