Recipe:
300g Light Crystal
Make up 10 L and boil. +1 kg LDME
70g of various hops over a 50 min boil.
+ 2.5 kg LLME
+ 0.5 kg Dex.
+ Deltaflock tab (first time I've used these).
0 Min: pot goes into an ice bath.
Now I go off to Bunnings for an hour or so - temp is about 30 Deg C when I get back.
Pour off pot contents into the fermenter & I notice there's about a centremeter of crud in the bottom of the pot. First time I've seen this and I've not added it to the fermenter.
Make upto 23L with cold water out of the fridge - temp is about 10 Deg C.
Pitch US.05.
OG = 1.104 ! - What happened there ?
Even adjusting the gravity for temperature, that still only brings it down to 1.103. I let it sit overnight & take another reading - no change.
If this thing comes down to something near 10 points - that's over 10 % ABV ! WTF?
