Default Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?

I did a nice, tame little RIS on 02-JAN.

OG was 1.115 when I pitched.

I'm experimenting with White Labs WLP099 this time to see how it does.
Fermenting like a ***** right now at 59°F.
My calcs say this yeast is capable of taking it all the way down to 1.011!
It may end up being a 13.7% ABV monster if it does!

Everything looks excessive here... but I did a no-sparge mash and planned on 50% efficiency and only got 54%. My planning worked for once! I need to get a fly sparge setup.

**Edit.... that isn't the hop schedule I used though...
I also used 2.75oz of Challenger somewhere and reduced and swapped some of the others... that must be on my other 'puter.
