Howdy,
So I decided to check on my beer today, and it seems to be going ok. Well, from what I can tell, but I don't really know because it's my first So a have a couple of noob/paranoia questions
I put my brew down on Sunday with an OG of 1041
I know I've read somewhere about what to expect taste wise as time goes on, but I forget what goes where. Is overly bitter at this stage normal?
SG today was 1020. Does that seem right? Not too fast/slow? I expected it to be higher than that for some reason.
Lastly, my final plan is to dry hop on Saturday, cold crash from Thursday morning and keg on Saturday. Is that realistic?
I have to admit, my semi-fermented wort smelt GREAT. I can really smell the hoppy aroma. Very exciting Also I'm over my "OMG IS IT INFECTED?!" paranoia
