Should be fine. I "forgot" about an IPA (quick and lazy recipe - Coopers Selection IPA, dextrose, LDM, kit yeast) for 7 weeks. Bottled it a month ago, started to drink it last week. A first class beer!

I cooked this one up 2 months ago, bottled 1 month ago, and tasted today. At this stage, I'm very pleased with the result. Coopers European Lager 25g Hallertau hops 1kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 Safbrew S-33 yeast

I made this one last year: - Thomas Coopers Collection IPA - 25g Citra hops - 25g Cascade hops - 500g Light Dry Malt - 300g dextrose - Safale US-05 yeast - Finest Victorian tapwater This is one of my most successful beers yet. I really enjoy a rich IPA, and this recipe does the trick. Early...

I know the feeling ...... I started brewing about 2 years. First brew, couldn't resist opening up the fermenter to see what things looked like. All good, left the brew to do it's thing for until bottling time. However, it didn't smell great. I decided to bottle half, and toss the other half. I'm...

had a similar question about a stout about two months ago. The hydrometer was parked at 1020 after about 5 days, and wasn't going anyway. I left the brew in the fermenter for another two weeks (SG still 1020), then bottled with some very gentle priming. I started to drink the stuff about two...

Thanks. BTW, the "fast ferment test" has shown constant readings of 1022 every day. I'm thinking I may have swirled the wort in the fermenter a bit more than "gently", thus need to wait another week or so to get an accurate picture of what's happening.

I have swirled gently and added a little bit of heat. 4 days later the hydrometer reads about 1030. Should / could it have gone up this much? Any sage advice appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. Points 1,2,3 all seem to be in order on this side. I fully agree; 8 days isn't long. I will try the control-bottle, and see what happens. I didn't take an OG reading. The brew was in a reasonably constant 20-25 range. It's currently 21.

I brewed a batch of stout to 19 litres as follows: -Bacchus & Barley Premium Stout -1.0kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 -0.5kg dark malt -Kit yeast The airlock stopped bubbling after 5 days, and after 8 days I'm getting constant FG readings of 1022. Is this too high for bottling?
