Brewed 1/26/2020. Measured gravity 1.038. Added 10 ml Clarity Ferm. Fermenting at mid-60's, garage temp.
OG correction, measured FG

My old hydrometer is off by 10 points, will buy a new one, and get a refractometer as well. Thus, actual OG was 1.048. Measured FG was 1.010 adjusting for hydrometer error.
Finished beer eveluation.
