I have a Chimay Blue type recipe in my fermzilla, based on lethal’s recipe from this forum.
My Starting SG was 1.080 and my target FG was 1.011, aiming for 9% abv.
AA would be 85%.
Temp 20 degrees C, raised to 25C over 6 days.
My current SG is 1.020, with corresponding 7.9% abv and yeast efficiency at 75%
It’s been complicated because the KL pressure kit was out of stock until last week and I chose not open the FZ for early samples to minimize infection risk. Bubbling stopped at 10days and so I dropped the temp to 10C in a wine fridge.
It’s tasted good but maybe a little sweet.
Questions.
Was my target FG overly ambitious?
Is an AA of 85% unrealistic?
Is there unfermented sugars that need to be fermented?
In which case, should I repitch the WY1214 (which I have collected)??
I’m now equipped with pressure kit/co2 and I have the FZ at 10psi. So I don’t have to bottle the brew...
