Just kegged this. FG was 1.010 giving 4.5%. Very happy with that. The taste is very malty with a hint of sweetness. Looking forward to this in a few weeks!

Morning CS,
I've just done the same and kegged the brew. Finished at 1.005 :shock:
Wasn't expecting this and hope it isn't too dry.
Wait and see time......

Hi Kev,
Probably more like FG 1.006 - 1.008 having checked a few times.
I was aiming for 1.042 OG but ended up with nearly 1.070 ! All got a bit frantic with AG1 but I liquored back to 'around' 1.045. Wasn't sure of my calcs this first time around and didn't want to water down too far.
So, best guess give or take a degree, 1.045 OG.

Did you taste a sample? Very unique taste I thought!

I'd agree with you Carl - nice and malty and still that bit sweet even though I had a lower FG than your ferment.
There are a couple of pics in my AG1 post of the final product

Hi Kev,
Yes - I think you're spot on. I lost about 4 degrees over a one and a half hour mash so suspect I leached out more fermentable sugars. I could be out with the OG though; if anything it was probably a tad higher than 1.045.
As per my comments earlier in this thread, I've never used liquid yeast before, never used a yeast that has took off this quick and never had a yeast go on as long. Will be interested to see what AG#1 comes out like.
Cheers

Liquid yeasts are the way forward! Been using for a year now and never looked back!

Hi Carl,
I really do have to agree; looks a bit pricey at first but.... with 500g of dried malt I split the original vial into 10 small bottles.
Wasn't too confident on this first brew so used two bottles for the starter. Created a madman; my best starter ever.
So, potentially, I've got 8 brews worth left but I'll probably stick with the same process. So that's 5 brews from 1 vial; £1 something a go maybe plus a bit of malt ? Will not be looking back.............
The other thing about this Yorkshire Square is that it set like glue to the bottom of the fermentor; hardly a cloud of yeast when I syphoned off and I virtually tipped the bucket on it's side and captured every last drop.
Really impressed and thoroughly recommended :thumb:
