Standing up for the Aussie Bottler
Looks like I'll be drinking a couple of cooper's longnecks later in the week.
Just wondering what sort of FG's people have had on this recipe? I did this as my first BIAB a couple of weeks ago, but missed the SG of 1.044 and got 1.040 instead. I added 200g of cane sugar after it had been fermenting for a few days.
Its down to 1.010 now and doesnt seem to be dropping. I upped the temp from 15 to 18 and will leave for a little longer, but just curious if anyone has had it finished around 1.010?
Cheers

Jut upgraded my mash tun and plumbed a new HLT (old cheap aluminium pot fell apart, new one is much more sturdy).
This brew will be the maiden brew on a new system and the first for 2011. I've scaled it up manually as I don't use software that does it for me so hopefully I've got it pretty close.

3kg for a 23lt batch with the sugar addition.
The yeast can be a monster and you will get a lower than usual FG, the grain bill without the sugar should be fine, just aim for 1.043 SG and you should get down to around 1/006-8, make sure you keep to 28 ibu, any higher and it can be too bitter.

Mine will go into cold conditioning tomorrow morning so by the time I get back from Castlemaine next week she should be good to bottle. Might be in time to do a trade (although you'll need to wait for it to carb obviously).
