Took my first hydrometer reading today (Day 6). 1.028 - there is still a thick krausen on top. I calculate that at about 63% attenuation. My yeast strain is 71 - 75 so I think I’ve got a little more time to go.
According to Beersmith, my OG should have been 1.076. I’m thinking the partial mash I did may have upped the OG up to 1.08.
Since my estimated FG with an original OG of 1.076 was 1.021, I am assuming my target OG is somewhere around 1.025.
Going to leave it in the primary for a couple of more days and then take another reading and possibly transfer to secondary. I know all about the debate about secondaries but I going to use one, mainly because I bought a Big Mouth Bubbler and I can watch the beer as it conditions. Plan is to dry hop for seven days in secondary and then bottle.
