I am new and have read a few books on how to make your beer high gravity, though I am lost on what it actually does. Could you let me know what the deal is. High grav vs. reg beer?
malkore said:high gravity beers take longer to ferment, period. yeast is yeast, and the more sugar it has to convert, the longer it takes. as alcohol levels increase, fermentation also slows.
3 weeks a long time for 1.072 though. How well did you aerate the wort prior to pitching? add any yeast nutrient?? what temperature is the fermenter at? what's the gravity right now??
