Brewing a, slightly modified Sculpin clone kit from MoreBeer. I like going to my fermenter with +/- 6 gallons, the kit was for 5 gallons. I added 1# of 2-row and ended up with 6.5 gallons to the fermenter. I use Priceless for BIB recipes and it was showing an O.G. of 1.059 (with 6 gallons to the fermenter, I had 1.054 with 6.5 gallons) and an est. F.G. of 1.013. Here I set on day 6 of fermentation and the air lock is still relatively active and my Tilt is showing 1.005... and it did correspond to the initial O.G. of 1.054 I had on the hydrometer so pretty sure it's accurate. Looking back through my notes I've had several 1.032/1.035 beers hit 1.006/1.007 but never a 1.054, crazy.
Here is the recipe(sans hops/schedule) maybe someone can shed some light... I'm thinking it's going to drop at least another point.
14# - 2-row
8oz - Crystal 10L
8oz - Carapils
Brew in a Bag method, electric, PID controlled
60 minutes at 148*
15 minutes at 160*
15 minutes at 170*
cooled to 70*
pitched - sprinkled - US-05
Fermented at a steady 68*
I Usually only do a 60 minute mash but the pre-milled grain looked coarse for BIB so extended it.... does longer mash time = higher attenuation?
Thanks!
