Attenuation(points) vs Time(days)

Fri November 20, 2009 09:07	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.014, Temp[C (F)]: 20.00 (68.00), Atten: 73.08%, ABV: 5.09%	First, beer has really cleaned up well in the second week, to point of being clear. Seconds, color is a nice coppery color now. Third, taste is reasonable, nothing to astray in my mind. Must be ready to bottle.
Sun November 15, 2009 08:44	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.014, Temp[C (F)]: 20.00 (68.00), Atten: 73.08%, ABV: 5.09%	Taste not to bad at this point in time. Still going to take a long time to clear.
Thu November 12, 2009 09:48	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.014, Temp[C (F)]: 18.00 (64.40), Atten: 73.08%, ABV: 5.09%	Brew now starting to clear. I would say brew is on the lighter side, color wise at this point in time. A lot of material is settling out, however, certainly still a long way to go to be clear.
Wed November 11, 2009 10:24	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.016, Temp[C (F)]: 17.00 (62.60), Atten: 69.23%, ABV: 4.83%	Fermentation going at rate slowing to about once per 15 second in airlock. Outside temperature today again 30 degress+
Tue November 10, 2009 10:23	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.020, Temp[C (F)]: 17.00 (62.60), Atten: 61.54%, ABV: 4.29%	Fermentation going at rate of about once per second in airlock. Home built temperature controller working well, outside temperature today again 35 degress+
Mon November 09, 2009 10:18	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.046, Temp[C (F)]: 17.00 (62.60), Atten: 11.54%, ABV: 0.80%	Fermentation has started and going at rate of about once per 3 seconds in airlock. Fridge smells good. Fine material now starting to settle out of brew, maybe this is why a lot of BIAB brewers also use the No-Chill method? To allow the fine material to settle out first before fermenting? Home built temperature controller working well, outside temperature today 35 degress+
Sun November 08, 2009 10:30	Gravity reading[SG]: 1.052, Temp[C (F)]: 19.00 (66.20), Atten: 0.00%, ABV: 0.00%	Volume into fermenter 23 litres. Initial SG measurement taken after 2 hours in fridge coming down to fermentation temperature of 17 Degrees. Aeration using paint stirrer and power drill for 2 minutes. Yeast added at 7pm. Temperature controller settings as follows: Con:17.50, Coff 16.75, Hoff:16.00, Hon:15.00, Toff:0.00, AT:10.00 max, AT:7.00 min. One change to recipe made, only 25gms of Brewers Gold hops added, I must learn to read recipe more accurately.

Sat January 01, 2011 03:11	Rating: 38 Age at tasting: about 1 year	- Great, want more, none left
Fri December 11, 2009 04:57	Rating: 33 Age at tasting: 19 days	Head starting to develop Bitterness stronger than malty flavors at present On real off flavors Color nice deep copper. Can keep drinking it.
Fri December 04, 2009 19:30	Rating: 20 Age at tasting: 12 days	Initial stubby - Not very well carbonated at this stage, so head did not last 5 minutes. Certainly drinkable, nothing to wrong with it. Maybe a little hoppy, but no doubt that will dissipate somewhat. Overall a 20 to start with
