Hi Everyone - I tried a recipe on MoreBeer! "How to Make Alcoholic Ginger Beer.” I’ve never had a stalked fermentation but I sure do now.
I brewed a five gallon batch a bit in the blind as my hydrometer broke on brew day. I followed the recipe, used yeast nutrient, and used two packets of S05 dry pitched into the "wort." I was unable to read my SG.
Two weeks later, I took my first reading (new hydrometer) and was suprised to find FG = 1.020. The recipe says were targeting "a FG around 0.996.”
The recipe calls for plenty of organic cane sugar (no DME), lots of peeled/diced ginger, and zest/juice from 5 pounds of limes.
Thoughts? What would you do?
Here is the recipe:
