Though I sense a bit of sarcasm, this hits the nail on the head. The answer was simple. The Beginner's Forum can really suffer when there's a ton of debate and 10,000 word diatribes. Sometimes less is more.

I wasn't trying to be sacrstic, I thought I originally gave a clear answer to what I perceived as the OP's intended question. That's why I tried NOT origianlly to bring in the issue of when to secondary or not.

Oh well.

good answer BierMuncher, and like I said, I'm sorry for dragging this into other realms......

No worries. :cross:

I'm a firm believer that less is more. :rockin:

Ever been to a public occasion where the speaker just keeps on droning on and on and everyone keeps looking at their watch?

I don't ever want to be that person on the podium.

Always leave em wanting more baby...:ban:
 
Say you have a beer that started at 1.060 and finished at 1.013. You primed with 4 oz of cane sugar, the real OG would have been 1.062. Without the priming sugar it would be 6.157% ABV with the priming sugar it goes up to 6.419 (maybe even higher if the final gravity went down noticeably.)
