IPA Moved to Secondary Fermenter

Normally this is not noteworthy. We moved the Two Hearted clone to a carboy after the initial fermentation. Gravity was ~1.021, which is quite a bit too high. This is probably due to mashing way too thin, which causes the enzymes and sugars in the mash to be so dilute that they react slowly.

We'll see - it will probably go down a little... hopefully a lot.

  1. What did we prime with again? 1.5 cups DME?

  2. I don't know. Turned out this was an issue with trying to use a refractometer on beer. A refractometer does not give a meaningful measurement when alcohol is present.
