I am brewing my 3rd batch (4th if you include cider), an Irish Sweet Stout.
My OG was 1.052, and after 4 days I am at 1.014.
If I do the math 1.052 - 1.014 * 131 I get 4.978% ABV
It was supposed to be 4.8% ABV according to the directions so I overshot it a little, and in only 4 days. Its still burping a little as well so its clearly not done.
Is it rare to overshoot FGs? Or was the directions/recipe just off?
