Thanks for all the help. A few more questions:
1) Did you cut a hole in the fridge for the blowoff tubing?
2) Would at 4.3 CU ft fridge work as well or must it be a 4.4 or 4.5?
3) What are your recommendations for removing the interior molding?
So does this mean that the gravity measurements you take earlier in the process are now an inaccurate measurement of the abv? Or is the amount sugar used in bottling process insignificant for the total abv?
During your primary the yeast is rapidly converting sugars into alcohol as well as other byproducts. When you bottle, you add priming sugar right before bottling. Does that priming sugar also convert to alcohol in the bottles along with the CO2?
