Have a laugh and guess: how high FG?

[Mer-man]

Brewed my xmas beer on Saturday on my new setup. It's stupid cold in my brew room currently, so I applied my normal insulation to the (BIAB) kettle.
Then to counteract heat loss, I set my induction burner to the lowest setting.

Plan was to mash at 70C to get a nice solid beer. At 45min, it was up to 74C, at which point I killed the heat and removed the insulation.


85% Castle Pale Ale, remainder is Pale Chocolate/Dark Crystal/Chocolate.
Seemed to convert really well anyway, so the OG hit 1.071.

Yeast was a partial repitch of 1968 at 1m/ml/degP, about 1 day old. On the last batch, this yeast hit 81%AA.

Ferment started at 18C, let rise to 20 for 3 days, then cranked up to 22 yesterday.

So the name of the game is, how high will the FG be?

And in the spirit of the week, I am thankful it will still be beer

I'm too lazy to convert C to F.

With a 74 @ 45, I would guess an FG 1.020...

Fresh yeast with higher than expected attenuation last generation. And good temperature at the start of the mash. I predict quaffable.

I sure hope so. The yeast looks like it has already dropped. World record or something.

The yeast (krausen?) may have dropped but I doubt it is done yet.

 

[Mer-man]

Oh no, I am giving it a few more days. Then I will kill the heat and let it drop. Then I will cold crash it.

The krausen dropped yesterday. Like I said, I pitched a lot of very healthy yeast, so it moved quickly.

 

[Mer-man]

It came in at 1.030. Hah!

 

[Mer-man]

Holy moly. It's so luxurious and delicious. And only 5.4%. Hah.
