I brewed my first batch of beer in the Anvil Foundry. I forgot to check the original gravity before transferring to the fermenter (it was 2:00am, I was tired!).
I'm using SafAle US-05. It's been fermenting for 4 days now (at about 68 degrees). The bubbling in the air lock seems to have stopped. There's still quite a few bubbles on the top of the beer. I plan to let the beer sit in the fermenter for at least 2 weeks and then I'll take a gravity reading, wait 3 days, and take another one to see if the gravity holds steady. If it does, I assume the beer is ready for bottling.
However, I'm wondering if there's a way to estimate my ABV based on the grain bill since I didn't take an OG reading?
Maris Otter Pale (7.5)
Munich 10 Lovibond (2.1)
CaraHell (0.21)
C-20 (0.315)
C-45 (0.21)
Special B (0.42)
Magnum hops (0.5)
Rice hulls (1.0)
60 ounces of Libby's pumpkin puree (half in mash, half in boil)
Safale US 05 (dry, 11.5 packet)
