Hi all,
I have just completed my first batch of beer in a kit I set up myself. (Little help from the local brewer store) I have bottled all of 21 litres of a boags premium pack (black rock lager) with converter pack. It seems to be ok. I have used Fresh rain water which I boiled.
My starting sg was at about 1.066 which I measured at about 8.6% (which seemed a bit high. So my question is just to see if I am on track. I finished with an sg 1.014 even though instructed to 1.012.
I didn't want the alcohol content to get any higher?? So I immediately bottled at 1.014 and have used the standard scoop for a 330 ml. Bottle in 375ml stubbies for raw and caster sugar.
Fermenting temp was between 16-20degrees the whole way and I stored in a fridge in the garage for even temp.
The beer was just finished fermenting when I poured.
Any suggestions??
