I brewed "Kama Citra Session IPA" from a kit on Saturday and the kit calls for a OG of 1.050. I followed the recipe exactly and ended-up with a OG of 1.070 as measured with a cheap "Beer and Wine Triple Scale Hydrometer." It calibrated exactly as expected with plain water. I used a package (11.5 g) the Safale US-05 that came with the kit. Will the yeast be overwhelmed at this OG? I have the fermenter in a home-built mini fridge kept at 65 degrees with a controller with it's probe taped with insulation on the side of the plastic bucket. Strong airlock bubbling started in less than 24 hours.
