Hey all,
New guy here, first time brewing. I’m in the middle of brewing a pale ale (of of those Cooper DIY kits) and I have a question regarding OG and SG.
I took an OG reading at the start of fermentation and got a reading of 1.026. 6 days later I took another reading and the SG is 1.022. This seem very low, and I note that the instructions that came with the kit indicate the OG should have been 1.046 or thereabouts. That is of course assuming I used the Coopers fermentables (which I didn’t, I just used sucrose).
From your experiences, did I just goof up on the OG reading or is my process perhaps flawed? (I do know that it has been fermenting at ~1-1.5°C lower than it recommends). Any advice at all would be much appreciated!
