Brew Problem

[rizman460]

I had two problems with my Brown Ale:

1) I could not get the Gravity down to 1.048 but instead got it to 1.051

2) I had overflow during the first 24 hours, it blew off the fermination lock, and I switched it to a blow off tube but I don't kow how long the beer was exposed to oxygen in my refrigerator.

Do you think the beer will turn out.

1) Close enough
2) Yes (I think the beer will turn out fine)

No worries.

I'm sure it will be fine.

Sounds like everything is going great

Yep. Don't worry about the slight gravity mishap. Just reading it at the wrong temp or not getting a good sample if you topped off with water could easily cause that discrepancy and it isn't far enough off to be concerned about.

And don't worry about the oxygen. During active fermentation the beer is giving off a ton of CO2 which is heavier than air which creates a blanket over the top of the beer. Sounds like you're all good
