Hi,
I've had a look around but can't find any answers to this;
I'm brewing a Beermakers Draught using a #20 enhancer kit (I think 500g Dextrose, 250 g Corn Syrup, 250 g malt). The Draught kit indicates I should bottle at around S.G. 1006, however my fermentation seems to have stabilised around 1014 (measurements taken over two days, currently in day 7 of fermentation, pitched and maintained 22-25 degrees, OG 1045)
Does using an enhancer pack such as this affect the SG that will be obtained? Obviously the corn syrup wont ferment, so I assume I will be looking for something greater than 1006 - but what? 1014 seems a little high. I'd especially appreciate input from people who have brewed with similar ingredients to advise on what SG they obtained.
Thanks for any advice - either way I'll wait a few days longer and take more readings to ensure fermentation is complete.
