Hi Brewers,
I have brewed an 11 Litre all grain IPA.
Target OG was 1.061. Actual OG was 1.071 (taken with refractometer).
Target FG was 1.012. SG at 15 and 17 days (hydrometer) was 1.026. (Reading at 15 days with refractometer was 1.038, but I understand that this is inaccurate due to alcohol in liquid, yes?)
Will this be okay to bottle now?
I am guessing that it will a taste a little sweeter than the original recipe intended, due to more malt remaining. Should I still use 2 carbonation drops per 500 ml bottle (as instructed)?
Any help most appreciated.
