Today is Monday.
Monday isn’t usually a brew day but since I worked my tail off in the
yard over the weekend and today was a light day at work, I decided to make it a
brew day. I’m brewing a Saison. I’m a big fan of Saison in the summer. It will be a bit different since it will have
1 3/8 lbs. of sourwood honey and I plan on adding ½ gallon of blood orange
juice to the secondary fermenter. So we’ll
have Bloody Honey Saison. Today was good
for another reason. I recently purchased
a refractometer to measure SG. However,
I was unaware that it is useless to measure FG without an OG measurement. So there I was on the brew boards, asking why
my FG of my Apricot Blond Ale was stuck at 1.024. Today I discovered my mistake. Measured the gravity with a hydrometer and
got 1.011. Right in the ballpark. Guess I be bottling soon.
