Airlock vacuum

I didn't do a full boil (all 5 gals.), I boiled 3 and had two in the carboy...thats a great suggestion, I cant remember taking a reading from the 3 or 5 gallons to give me a 1.130 details! Haha

I guess I will test it the old fashioned way, taste and see if I drop (get sleepy)
Thank you!

I think you have a typo either above or earlier in the thread. Was the OG 1.030 or 1.130? Big difference. I am going to go way out on a limb and say you either had 1.030 from the 5 gal not being mixed well (as was noted earlier as a possibility) or 1.130 from your 3 gal boil of undiluted wort".

I'm pretty new but I would suggest ignoring gravity measurements for this batch and just make sure to give extra time before bottling/kegging to make sure fermentation is complete. Extra time in a primary or secondary shouldn't hurt anything.

Hello Freisste,
It wasn't a typo, it was 1.130 but, as you stated, I believe it was from the 3 gal. boil...so now I dont know what my ABV might be. I will take your suggestion and keep it in primary a couple weeks and another in secondary before I bottle.
Thank you,
Miguel
