Final Gravity sanity check

[Jeff Covey]

I need someone to confirm my gravity readings on a 10 gallon Brut IPA I just brewed. I plugged the numbers into an online tool, and am surprised by what it spit out.. I brewed a 10 gallon batch and split it into two fermenters. Pitched Imperial A24 in one and US-05 in the other. OG = 13.2 brix. The A24 finished at 4.7 brix or .998 and the US-05 finished at 4.4 brix or .996. They taste bone dry, and I expected this to get low, but not below 1.000. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Sounds normal to me. Consider using a hydrometer.

Alcohol is less dense than water.

Sounds like success.

Enjoy your bone dry brut IPA!

Isn't that what the style is going for - a quasi-brut-champagne beer?

Cheers!

gluco does that pretty much every time,,,(if you punch it into a homebrew calorie calc, you'll see it has LESS calories, and more alcohol too! enjoy!)
