I think the original gravity was lower firstly because I only used 1 lb of table sugar instead of 2 lbs, and secondly because I added about 0.6 gallons of water after the boil to bring the volume up since I know I will lose some due to trub like I did last time.

So, adding water to make it around 5.6 gal in the primary caused foam to leak out into the air lock and I had to transfer to a second primary after a couple days. The rest of primary fermentation completed fine and I dry hopped and transferred to secondary after six days.

Yield was 46 bottles because I added some water. The ABV was lower than before though at 6.5%.

  • Primary: 6 days
  • Secondary: 12+6 days
  • OG: 1.064
  • FG: 1.016
  • ABV: 6.5%
