Well, I had a thermometer that was reading super high and yada, yada, yada, I had some homebrew and pitched at 46°F.
SA US 05 dry yeast
Northern Brewer's Extract Sierra Madre kit
The fermenter is in the basement with a warming wrap set for 71°F
Any predictions?
Also, I've never measured the gravity of my beers, just ended fermentation based on airlock activity and gut feelings. On this batch I tried to take the OG twice and was getting readings of 1.072 when I was expecting to see 1.052. Measurement was taken at 70°F and some sediment was in the sample. Am I correct in thinking that the sediment is responsible for this difference?
