Question,OG not taken

chub1 · Apr 14, 2016

Just done my second small experimental 6 litre hoppy Extract recipe,again using the recipe builder on here.All went well but-
-In my eagerness i forgot to take the OG :doh:

. I know it doesn't really matter but i have a question(for future reference) if it happened again, can it be tested after putting the yeast in?
Thanks

It'll give you some idea at least. More fun not knowing!

Yes but as you say, don't worry about it. Taking a sample once yeast is only just added is an infection risk (albeit an easily managed one).

I completely forgot to take the FG of my patersbier. But at least there I can just measure the gravity of a bottle once I open it. It'll be too late to do much about it by then if it did get stuck!

1 pint = dont no

5 pints = getting a good idea

10 pints = good night anyway:lol: #lightsout

I often forget to take an OG. The last time I took an OG I took it after I added the yeast as I added the yeast as part of a 2L starter and it would effect the gravity reading. Didn't seem to cause any problems

Again, thanks both:thumb:

Doesn't the recipe builder give you OG Chris?

Hi Mate
It does, yes.
Ok another question:mrgreen: having said that, is the OG going to be exactly as per recipe or could it vary :-?? I have no idea as it's only my second attempt at Extract.
I know it doesn't really make a scrap of difference but i just like to know what the ABV turns out at.
