Hey guys, so I am fermenting batch number 2 and today is the 2 week mark. I took a hydrometer sample and was quite surprised.
My OG was 1.084 and my CG is 1.006. I put these numbers into the brewers friend calculator and got over 90% attenuation.
I used WLP099 and posted about how bad the sulfur smell was and although that is faded, it still has a slightly off putting aroma. It does taste like straight rocket fuel though. Obviously this fermented at too high a temperature I guess? House stays at 68 was out of town first 3 days of fermentation. Came back and put it in a controlled temperature at 66 degrees for the remainder.
Obviously I need to let this age for a while but will this even carbonate in a bottle at almost 11% ABV? Also, I need to dry hop, will racking into a secondary getting it off the yeast cake help tone down the sulfur at all? Beer tastes ok but the smell isn't the best.
