Subject: Losing beer through blow off
|
I just racked a very high gravity beer (codename: 'Bitch Slap') into
secondary. After doing do, I see that I lost about a half gallon to
blow off.
How would this loss figure into the gravity? I haven't done a gravity
reading as I've lost enough as it is.
Discuss this amongst yourselves.

So what is the significance of the name "Bitch Slap". Sounds kind of gross
in a sick sort of way.
Is "Phil" short for Phillis?

I'm making an extremely high-gravity English-style ale with a relative
starting gravity of over 1.180. The first yeast I pitched was Wyeast
Irish Ale Yeast.
I'll be pitching the Wyeast Distillers Yeast any day now. It's
fermentable up to (IIRC) 22% and contains enzymes for further
conversion.

No. It's short for Philip. What is 'Wheat' short for? Douche?

No, you probably got me confused with one of your female he/she family
members! <VBG >

Blowoff during the primary should not have any significant impact on
your gravity. The volume goes down, obviously, but the SG of the rest
of the beer should be the same. The only thing that would effect the SG
is if you topped up afterwards with water.
