I Did a 23l (6gal) 1.056 Scotch ale that ive moved into secondary Monday ( Rockin at 1.018 right now )
Im using WLP028 as yeast ... very pleased !
now here we go with the tricky part
I've done a 23l (6gal) Wee Heavy ( 1.092 OG ) before moving my scotchy... I've carefully keep 700ml (2 1/3) cup of the quite thick slurry, drop on the wee, stir the worth and moved at 63F room and allowed to slowly drop to that temperature ( From 70F )
Tuesday i've walk-in and open the lid ... nice layer of bubblin on top.
I was currious so i've took a gravity sample and BOOM ... 1,030 already !
Is that normal ?
Did i still overpitch ?
Mr Maltys tool suggested 165ml
Thumb rule would ask around 365ml
So i've almost double the thumb rule ... was worried because it's my first try and its a big beer.
Thanx for any input ( suggestions , pointing out failure , etc etc .... )
