For my second brew I made an American IPA. Followed the kit instructions well, let it ferment for 2 weeks in the primary and figured I'd let it bottle condition over the next few weeks.
The problem is when I took my hydrometer reading the beer had a 2% alcohol level. Is that normal?
1st Readings pre fermentation:
- 27% sugar
- 1.20 OG
- 16% Alcohol by volume
2nd Readings pre bottling:
- 4% sugar
- 2% Alcohol
- 1.1 FG
The kit did not come with instructions on what the OG/FG should be which is kind of annoying; any suggestions?
