9/9
Collembola!
I know that there are a few other threads on this, but I searched and couldn't find a good, clear answer.
How far from the FG is too far? Our second batch is in the primary, and I am still not sure how everything is working. It is from an AHS extract kit for an Oatmeal Stout (I can find the exact recipe if anyone cares). The OG was right about the expected from the kit at 1.050 (we actually measured it at 1.054, but I suspect it was just due to not being completed mixed). The estimated final is 1.010. The airlock went strong for about two days and then stopped. I measured today (7 days in the primary) and it was at 1.018. I haven't seen airlock activity for about 5 days. I think that it was a bit warm (around 70F), but only by a couple of degrees.
Since we are not planning on using a secondary, I am not too stressed since I know it will still sit for a couple more weeks. I basically have two questions. First, how far away from the estimated FG would be enough to be worrisome and would it be reasonable to expect those final few points to still drop in the next two weeks?
Thanks, as always.
p.s. the good news is that I can now RDWHAHB, since we just cracked open the first beer of our first brew. It is good. :rockin:
