Hi all,
Just after an answer to a question I have regarding my beer ABV finishing alot higher than anticipated.
I have brewed a Citra Pale Ale which I anticipated to finish at 10.15 but Instead it has finished at 10.11.
My OG was also a little high (10.62) when it was estimated to be 10.59.
I used Brewer's friend recipe calculator to create my recipe. I used the Brewzilla Gen 4 to brew.
I used Verdant IPA yeast on the day and dry hopped on day 4 of fermentation. It was a very active fermentation and was temperature controlled at 20°C.
Does have one have any ideas as to why it has overshot so much? Is it simply a case of the yeast has worked too hard or I've got my effiency calculations all wrong?
I never really know how to calculate efficiency and tend to leave it at around 75% on the recipe calculator.
