Estimating Original Gravity.

[johnc86]

I forgot to test the Gravity of an Edme Superbrew Bitter kit. I only remembered after Id pitched the yeast.... :whistle:

So, I took a sample and left it in the trial tube for the initial froth to subside a little to make the reading easier.

Problem is I forgot about it and left it over night .

Needless to say its started fermenting already, so I cant get a true reading. And, there is more bubbles obcuring my view of the hydromoter than before :rofl: .

So can someone give me an idea of what the OG should have been?

It was brewed slightly short to aprox 4 gallons using a full kilo pack of Geordie beer enhancer.....

Thanks in advance for any input.

I am currently doing a Edme Superbrew Stout kit for the first time and was looking for any information about the kit and found this site. Maybe it can help you

Iv brewed it short though mate :?

If you know what the volume and OG were supposed to be (i.e. the non-shortened brewlength) I may be able to work it out for you using beersmiths dilution tool.

1040 - 1043° according to the EDME web site.

1040 at 5 gallons

40 x 5 gallons = 200 gallon degrees

200 / 4 gallons = 50

thus new gravity should be around 1050

cheers mate, It will at least give me a ballpark figure for abv when its finished fermenting.
