  • First stout ready for secondary?

    Everything has been going well. OG was 1.087. However, fermentation seemed very short compared to the DIPAs I usually do. Heavy fermentation started quickly but was only visible for about 4 days. Since then airlock bubbles have been about 20 to 30 seconds apart.

    Tonight I pulled a sample, it came in at 1.028. Instructions state 1.018 - 1.022. Not much seems to be happening, do you think this batch is ready to rack to secondary? Ready to get the beer away from the thick layer of cocoa fat.

    I did taste the sample, it was excellent so far. Heavy coffee, chocolate, and dark malt flavor. Very excited. This will also be my first batch to be kegged.

    I'd check the gravity again tomorrow and if it has stopped, I'd keg it. I don't secondary beers unless I'm dry hopping or something like that.
    Malt is the soul of beer... and yeast gives it life..
    but the kiss of the hop is the vitality of that life!

    My three favorite beers: The one I just had, the one I'm drinking now and the next one I'll have.
