damn it. i'm off by a few. i was really hoping for 1.010. OG was 1.050.
so..... why? i have a guess, but don't know if i am correct here.
1. i fermented at a steady 62-65*. that was the ambient temp in my kitchen. maybe the yeast wanted closer to 70ish?
2. not long enough of a starter. i used a smack pack, popped it 16 hours before, quickly cooled a little wort, mixed the pack in, let sit for 1.5 hours and pitched at 70*. i think i needed to make a better starter?
this was in primary for 3 weeks exactly, wyeast 3944
any ideas? and is there some sort of calculator that i can punch my recipie into and determine what my FG should be?
