First batch has been goin since Saturday and it's been fermenting furiously!
OG was 1.050, I know it should be in the 1.06x range, but hey, lessons learned. Anyway, seems like the fermentation is finally slowing so I took a grav reading and a taste. First off, it is DAMN good! Slightly sweet with a dry finish, which was what I was going for. Here's the first question,
1. My SG was 1.024, that seems high to me, but I'm not sure as this is my first batch. I'm going to take another reading on Sat to check and see if it's done.
Question 2. Has anyone ever had one finish in the 1.02x range? And, if I leave it or cold crash it will that lower the FG?
I think I want to hit about 1.014ish for FG.
Thanks y'all!
