Ingredients:
Coopers Pale Ale
Coopers Brew Enhancer #2
Pride of Ringwood Hop bag
Sofale Yeast
FG 1014 and still dropping
Temperature: don't let it get below 18
19th day in the fermenter.
Patience is a virtue when brewing in winter, but starting to drink it straight from the fermenter due to the need for 'regular' testing.
Giddyup!

FG? what does that stand for?
ReplyDeleteFG stands for 'Final Gravity'. It is a measure of the remaining fermentables in the beer. When compared to OG 'Original Gravity', the alcohol content can be calculated.
ReplyDeleteWhen the FG is between 1006 and 1012, and is steady for two days,then bottling can commence. Bottling at 1014 works out to be 4% if the OG was 1045. Bottling at 1006 would give 5%.
