Brew No.32 Rate: 7/10 ABV: 6% Yeast attenuation: 72-76% My attenuation: 76% Recipe: OG: 1071 FG: 1008 ABV: 8.3% Achieved: OG: 1060 FG: 1014 ABV: 6% Notes: Caramel Pils. Adds flavour and a bit of retention. Carapils does just retention. Some recipes add both. Maybe 3% of each? Sugar was 80g 160ml of water. Very over carbonated. Suspect still fermenting when bottled. Fermented last week outside at 6-13c Do again: Yes. Great taste. Shame so over carbonated. I also missed ABV, so love to go again.
