After starting out with a per-boil gravity of 10.40 @ 90f
and post-boil gravity of 10.55@ 70f ( shooting for 10.70)
that was two weeks ago, very active fermentation for 4 or 5
days in between 62f an72f. Today transferred two the secondary
and took a reading and taste reading was 1.006@ 70f ,the taste
was alcoholic to astringent almost a hot after taste, just checked
online for the waters(bottled Crystal Geyser) and has a PH of 7
oh dear oh my . it's in the secondary now with some hops
is there any hope for this or did I just make 5 gals of drain cleaner ?
