How do you measure the alcohol after you make an Eisbock?

It could be done, I have had them finish in 48 hours before. Take a reading and check. If not, I have put in a nother batch of yeast and finished. Good Luck.

Are you checking your OG and ajusting that for temp? If you check you OG at a temp of 130 it can be off by 10+ on your reading, then when it cools and you check it again it's alot higher.

Helicopters for the last 25 years, but just started brewing a few months ago. I am in SLC while my Bass clone is fermenting in Boise. Get home this weakend to keg.

So the extra is just to make it sound better, no changes to the brewing?

Noob question. What is the diff between pale ale and extra pale ale?
