Just thought I'd update in case anyone searches ginger beer/ale and is looking for info. It has now hit 1.005. Day 11. After doing nothing for 5 days it has suddenly kicked in to action again o_O Tastes a lot better also. Will wait it out a bit more now to see where it can finish up.

Hey, Have a 10L batch of ginger ale. Been in the fermenter for 9 days now. Recipe below. 30min mash/30 min boil. Its been at 1.010 for the last 3 days. I gave it a swirl three days ago as I noticed airlock had stopped bubbling. Bubbled again. Butno change to 1.010. Is it finished? I am kegging...

Thanks heaps for the replies fellas. I like the soapy chilli spray idea. Will get cracking. I hand picked off about 10 this morning but that is rather difficult past the 3m high mark.

Cancel that. It's actually a tiny hole in the weld just below the thread. Will contact the GF team for a replacement.

Thanks for checking mate. I just tried both of the spare washers that were sent with the upgrade kit but same deal. Does your valve screw the whole way down the thread? My photo isn't great but if you can sort of see that it doesn't quite make it to the end. I am thinking it may be a problem...

Hi fellas, Finally got round to installing the upgrade kit on my GF. I can't seem to get this leak sorted out in the new recirculation pipe valve. I've got it as tight as can go which doesn't quite get to the bottom of the thread, but still leaks. Any ideas? Don't really want to put the old...

Any idea what's going on here dudes?
