Once again I have a.hydrometer issue lol which to me continues to read very low.
Would I be correct in thinking that regardless of using a hydrometer or not an extract kit should ferment out to a certain abv?
For example what should 1.8kg of malt extract brewed with 1kg of beer enhancer be?
I have just made a dark rock session west coast pale ale extract kit....( which is 1.8kg of extract and 1kg of dark rock pale ale enhancer)....I also made a coopers irish stout extract kit...(which is 1.7kg of extract and 1kg of dark rock enhancer).
I don't see an og but dark rock say the fg should be 1008....
My og for the west coast was 1036 so if it brews out to 1008 I will only get a beer of 3.6% .....the irish stout was 1034 and if that stopped at 1008 it be ok 3.4%.
both beers were brewed to 23l.......and both were stirred and stirred and stirred.
Has anyone made these beers using these amounts and should I just trust they r going to be at least 4%....I'm not looking to make strong beers but I'd like them at least 4%+
Anyone?
