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 :oops: .

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.
 
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.
