I was expecting 8.5%, but ok. Didn't know it would be this high.

I did & it shows what you're stating. So, you feel my fermentation is 100% complete? I'll transfer tomorrow. Mine usually takes 2 weeks before transferring but this was a bigger brew so wasn't sure.

1.03 is what the end result was on my refractometer (SG Wort side). I'll wait for my hydrometer to come in & test it this way. I can't fathom my brew with a 1.085 OG turn into 10.4% on this brew.

So, what does your chart show me? I've never compared charts to yeast, before (pardon my ignorance in this).

Typo on 1.000, not important. 2nd - I read my refractormeter & read SG at end vs brix.

SO, you're subbing SG with brix on the refractometer? How can this be higher than 8.5% ABV? If the fermentation stalled, why would you use 1.00051 as a FG?

Ok, I brewed a Hefe extract 15 days ago using Safale WB-06 with the original recipe of 1.053 OG but I added 1 lb of malt, increasing result to 1.085 OG. I read that WP-06 would tolerate up to 9% abv which is why I used this yeast. Tolerable temp range for WB-06 is 64F - 75F & have been...

Prior to pitching yeast. Am I being unclear on my question? I don't know, but when should water be tested prior to fermentation? Maybe some can let me understand what they do?

Tried lemon juice in a glass. It took more than a drop go lower it substantislly.

My RO ph is 7.3 before brewing. So, maybe I should check ph before pitching on next batch.

No. Said on my next batch I start i wanted to make sure ph is lower, not wanting to lower on an already finished batch.

I found my extract ph is 7.3 & read I'll get a better flavorful brew at a ph of 5 or less. What do you all use to lower ph? I'm seeing epson salts, calcium, citrus, calcium cloride, etc. Is there something I'm able to get at a grocery store for lowering ph? I'm not sure about epson salt since...

I found over a lb of light dme extract & used it for my Hefe. Went from 1.05 to 1.085. Unsure how this will turn out & hoping it's not going to be too sweet with my wp-06.

We'll see what happens. I had someone tell me WB-06 fermemts up to 9%-12% abv. I was at 1.082 before i pitched.

I thought phenols were from higher temps. I have some wine yeast i can pitch in so it won't be so sweet.

WP-06 was part of the extract kit so I figured it was normal for this brew

Sorry, yes. 11.5 grams, didn't have my specs on Yes, sorry. Didn't have my specs on & only caught the 5 at the end. It's overflowing so had to attached overflow.

It was 5 grams, a normal pack.

I am fermenting a Hefeweizen extract which had a 1.05 SG and was wanting to boost abv so I added a little over a lb of light extract DME before doing any calcs. At end of boil, I learned that I'm at 1.082 og. I'm fermenting with wp-06 & was wondering if this yeast will handle such a high abv...
