Checked today and I'm at 1.006. Any reason that I really need to leave it in for 3 weeks like the recipe states? Airlock has been nearly dead for the past 5 days. Seems like this sucker fermented fast.
I'm planning to bottle this on Sunday upon a hydro re-check.
Balrog: I got a new hydro in the mail. It calibrated EXACTLY at 1.000. The other one I checked again at 1.005.5ish. Going to trash the other one. Looks like I got 70% efficiency like clockwork...
If I assume my hydrometer was reading +05.5 upon OG check (which I will safely assume so), looks like I ended up with around what the recipe stated, a 6.3% stomper.
The beer smelled a bit green, or maybe that's the hefe lemon-lime taste I'm not used to, or the peppery smell of saaz, but the taste was fantastic and full of lime flavor. No doubt this will be a winner.
