Gday all. Put down a Coopers Pale Ale today and measured an OG of 1063! I quit smoking yesterday and just want to check I'm not going bonkers.
Recipe was:
1.7kg Coopers Pale ale kit
1.5kg Coopers LME
300g maltodextrin
300g dextrose
Boiled half the LME & dry ingredients with 30g Cascade hops for 60 minutes then added the rest of the cans. Rehydrated Us-05 yeast and pitched to 23L at 22 degrees. Plan on dry hopping another 30g cascade later on.
Based on an FG of 1015 ABV% would be around 6.5%!
Does this seem right? Also, I've got some moteuka, galaxy & POR hops in the freezer. Any suggestions for the dry hop after fermentation?
Cheers,
Proffs
