Just wanting to make sure I do this right.
Wort was 16.75 plato which I worked back to SG of 1.069
This was 6.5 litres
I diluted with 1.8 litres of water.
I calculated this to a final figure of 1.054
(6.5 x 1.069)/(6.5 + 1.8)
Is this correct?
Reason for asking is that I ended up with an FG of 1.000 (corrected refractometer reading in presence of alcohol of 5).
Giving me ABV of 7.1%
I also used brewking and that gave me a FG of 0.999, ABV of 7.2%, 102% apparent attenuation and attenuation of 85%.
Yeast was MJ29, French Saison, diastaticus.
If correct, I have a little problem with the beer I am mashing now.
I was going to put it onto the trub that's left. I calculated this as 1.2 litres. Meaning I can't add the same amount of wort and my resulting saison will have an even higher % of alcohol as I can't dilute it enough.
I'll make a plan for this somehow. Just need to know first if my calculations are correct
