Stout Bottled

[banzai2326]

We bottled the stout tonight and I took the Final Gravity reading.

For those of you who recall when I brewed this beer, it came out much darker than I had anticipated. And it also came out heavier - an Original Gravity reading of 1.066 instead of an expected 1.059, which means 6.6% more dense than water, and about 12% more dense than I had

Your specific gravity explanation is off by an order of magnitude--1.066 is 6.6% denser than water, and 1.018 is 1.8% denser than water. :]

And that is why we need more engineers!

Thank you, you are correct. I got it right in the last post, screwed it up here.

I mean, I like beer sludge as much as the next guy, but 66% is plumb ridiculous. :D

that said, it does *look* like mud. At least in color.

precious precious mud.

I wonder if there'll be any of that left in March...we'll be down in DC to watch a friend perform at the Smithsonian (somewhere...), so we might have to see about swinging by or meeting up :)

[chite]

you should! We'll be away March 7-16 but otherwise we are here. And for goodness sakes I can't drink any of it, so you may as well have some for me.

D'oh...I think that's right when we'll be there. I'll try and make another trip, but as it is, we're way behind on even getting to NYC...ever :(

Ahh, life...never cooperates with reality ;)

That said, I've promised Lynne that I'll keep a bottle or two of it for her, so I can certainly set aside a few more. After all, I still have several bottles of the beers I brewed back in August. So whenever we do finally get together, I'll probably still have some. :)

Fan of Yogi Berra, are we? :)
