taking reading at 2.00pm:-) you have until then to make a guess.

already had a taste when i removed the dry hops - tropical & citrus fruit

 

[dad_of_jon]

OG was 1.071

It's still fermenting :shock:

so at present it's 1014. I'll give it another week.

this means that so far the top guesses are: (how many points out)

sonnal - 3

brumbrew 7

beercat 7

beechwood 12

so by my calcs at 1013-1014 fg sonnal will win
at 1012 brumbrew scrapes the tie with 58 point drop
at 1011 and lower brumbrew gets it.

it's 7.48% at present!

 

[dad_of_jon]

The FG was 1012 and the og was 1071 which meant a tie between Sonnal, Beercat & Brumbrew but Brumbrew sneaked the tie-break with a 58 point drop where the drop was actually 59.

Congrats Brumbrew, PM me your details and a bottle will be on its way to you in a few weeks :-)

 

[brumbrew]

Thanks :-) pm on its way I never win anything!

Yup brum,

Carb tester starting to firm up. It should be ready for posting between 31st oct - 8th november based on similar brews at that strength.

Steve G - Can you handle 7.74%? :-D - if you brew brewfferm the answer must be yes
