I’m working on my own recipe that I created (Imperial IPA). My starting SG was 1.082 using a Tilt Hydrometer.
After transferring to secondary fermenter and dry hopping for a week, the SG has dropped to 1.004 with 95% attenuation which I was very happy with. Then starting week 2, I added another oz of Citra Hops.
I plan to keg it today and the SG is back up to 1.008.
My question is - what would cause the SG to rise instead of staying at 1.004? I’m just curious.
Thank you in advance.
