Am I in trouble or is this fine?
I recently tried an IPA extract kit. Original Gravity should be between 1.058 - 1.062 with final at 1.010 - 1.016. Alcohol content 6.2%. However, I added about 10 oz of honey which technically may raise everything.
My actual OG was 1.072 and my FG 1.025. This still technically would have an alcohol content of 6.2%.
Attenuation, however, would be only 65% and according the the standard for my yeast (Burton Ale by White labs) it should be 69 - 75%.
Fermenting temp was fine throughout. In primary for 3 weeks, in secondary for another 2 1/2 weeks. Does this look right considering the addition of honey? Also, I belive the FG was including the bottling sugar. Many thanks for your help!
