Attenuation(points) vs Time(days)
| Fri September 24, 2010 10:03 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.006, Temp[C (F)]: 18.00 (64.40), Atten: 87.38%, ABV: 5.57% | Kegged the brew today. Carbed at 300 KPA. |
| Tue September 21, 2010 09:22 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.020, Temp[C (F)]: 18.00 (64.40), Atten: 57.92%, ABV: 3.69% | Has been in the fermenter for about a week now. Did not put enough water in the airlock and it dried out really quickly. Added more water a few days ago. Taste wise: quite hoppy, showing citrus, grapefruit character I guess from the Columbus. Not overly malty so that is a bit out of balance. Not sure if I can add some LDME to the fermenter to correct this a bit. Will probably bump up the ABV a bit but that is no biggy. Mouthfeel is a bit thin as well. I don't think it is over attenuated, although with such a low FG it has fermented quite fully. |
| Tue September 14, 2010 10:05 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.054, Temp[C (F)]: 18.00 (64.40), Atten: -13.62%, ABV: -0.87% | Put the brew down. Dropped half the yeast on the floor :( Got new yeast from LHBS and pitched about another 1/2 pack. |
