Can this be right?!

[SheepDog]

Hi all,

Just brewed my second batch of Evil Dog Double IPA. (I loved the first so much😋)

My question, Is my calculation correct? OG 1072, FG 1008.. Checked each reading with 2 hydrometers as I thought it a high OG.

Bottle conditioning adding .4% does this make my brew a shade over 9%?

Thanks for any response. Have a great day :thumb:

As long as you're sure the readings were accurate then yes that's about right. That is 88% aa which is very high, have you tasted it?

8.4% ABV without compensating for the priming sugar

Turbo cider?! I think I need to research this, thank you

Your going to want a demijohn ( 1 gallon) either glass or plastic

i would recommend glass as they are easier to clean and are going to last ages!

you could get a plastic 1 for about a quid tho if you buy a 5 litre bottle of water from tesco or somewhere :)

i would recommend getting a rubber bung and 6 bubble bubbler aswell as theyre fun and safer then the hi-hat bubbler

have a look at the cider and wine section for recipes

my fav yeast for TC = EC-1118

Thanks again, I happen to have a glass demijohn so will look through the advised pages.. I'm off work a few days this week so have an idea what I could be doing now :)
