21 days agoLast (pretty recent) brew was supposed to be a WCIPA finishing at around 7.5% but I miscalculated my water volume and ended up with an 11% beer instead. I also ran into some issues doing the closed transfer from my fermenter and eventually just opened it and poured it into the keg. Despite all that it was actually quite good after a week or so carbing. I was pleasantly surprised.
It’s funny you say that because the reason I miscalculated the water was based on my brew sessions regularly coming in under the expected value for my post-boil gravity, so I changed my equipment settings to reduce the expected losses. Unfortunately it looks like I made them a little TOO low.
