Hello brewers! This is my first home brew ever and went with the Chinook IPA recipe. I had a question about specific gravity. I followed the instructions exactly has followed with the recipe. Initial SG: 1.08 (which I thought was high for this beer) and did my final SG: 1.01, which translates to an ABV: 9.19%. So I sampled the beer and by all accounts it takes like it should, of course without the carbonation. Of course I had a couple sips and woah I can really feel the alcohol, ALOT. Am I doing something wrong? I don’t understand why the initial SG was so high. I plan on bottling tomorrow. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
thanks again!
