Hi Guys,
I have a stout in the fermenter now, that looks like it has finished way lower than expected.
Measured with the hydrometer it started out at 1.088 and looks like it has finished at 1.005, just under 11% ABV
The estimated FG should have been about 1.020.
My question is, would that FG be right or does the alcohol affect the reading?
Other info, the Mash temp was 67 C for an hour, boil was 2 hours, it did end up with 1.75 Kg (3.8 lb of Honey) in with the boil as I didnt have any DME that the recipe wanted.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mal
