Im going off a few things to tell me when is fermentation is done I look at the readings and how the yeast cake is acting and I watch the top of the brew for bubbles once it slows right down even with the temperature being around 22 I'd say it's done I have just moved it into a secondary off...

The yeast strain I don't know it came with the coopers pale ale can of wort the room temp doesn't matter with the hydrometer as I am checking water at room temperature and then the brew and adjusting points to how much the water is off the 1000 by

Yes I boiled both and fresh unopened packs and I always let the hydrometer stand in room temperature for ages then I recheck again do you think it's a really reading for pale ale with that recipe? OG 1055 down to 1005

Checked with room temperature water was 4 points off still only give me a reading of 1005 if I account for the 4 points nothing else is as any signs of anything wrong still think is a very low reading

Will test it again today and it can't be infected I use a 3 stage antibacterial and fungicide sanitizing agent that's used for boarder security food transport

Yes that's room temperature and 22 is ok its ale more forgiving then larger

Taste great like a good mid beer
