What the world needs now is another beer blog.
Used T-58, 2/3 c table sugar and 1/3 c table sugar in 16 oz or water. The beer tasted a little bitter than I’d hoped.
Here are the results of your calculations with your gravity readings corrected for temperature:
| Temp Corrected | Scale | UnCorrected | |
| Original: | 1.042 | Specific Gravity | 1.042 |
| Final: | 1.01 | Specific Gravity | 1.01 |
| Alcohol By Weight: | 3.4 % | ||
| Alcohol By Volume: | 4.3 % |
Rack to secondary. OG was 1.071 and FG was 1.012, so ABV is 7.7%. Much milder and thinner than the first Tripel I brewed, but that is a good thing. My first batch didn’t have enough yeast I think. There was a bit more notice on the hops compared to last time. Again, maybe a good thing since the sweetness from last time dominated everything. I’ll leave it in the secondary for a couple months or so.
Smelled incredible! Had in secondary for 2 months. Put some T-58 in at bottling with 3/4 cup corn sugar. Minus any issues, I feel this will be a dandy.
With an OG of 1.081 and a final of 1.020, ABV = 8.1%
Large malt character to it but smoother smell. Less alcohol smell for some reason.
Racked the beer to secondary and was given hope from the hydrometer taste test. Very earthy but a bit more characteristic of an IPA. Nothing like the citrusy taste of its American versions. We’ll see how it matures over the next month or so prior to bottling. I’ve been told this beer changes on you the older it gets. Hydrometer reading was still 1.014. This would be about 6.1% abv.
