Bottling our Imperial Stout * bottled on Sat, May 3, 2014 * our final gravity (FG) was 1.018. * alcohol by volume (ABV) was 8.14% * goal ABV was 9.5%, so we had efficiency problems, probably on brew day. * produced 51 bottles * gave six-pack to JP who helped us bottle * the first bottle filled and capped was placed up to be served at some special date * we drank one bottle on Sat eve, May 10 for testing. it was low carbonated, but it tasted fine. we'll wait another week before trying another one. #home - #beer
