Hey guys
its been about 7days from when i started this brew.
The airlock is still bubbling away. its bubbles about once every minute or so. But i took a gravity ready 2 days ago and it was 1020 took another on today and it was also 1020. The OG was 1050.
Its a tooheys special draught kit with an Ale yeast that im making.
I havent done anything special to it just followed the instructions and added the liquid brewing sugar (1kg).
It tastes pretty good at the moment. but Im confused my understanding was that if its stopped fermenting the airlock should stop bubbling.
Also the instructions say that the FG should be around 1006.
not really sure whats happening with it.
i kept the temp at 18C for the first 5 days then the last two the temps gone up to about 24-26 ( i was told this was good, as the main fermentation was already done and it wont affect the flavour or get any infections).
Hoping you guys can help me out. I was thinking that if the gravity is still 1020 tomorrow i will just bottle it. by my calculations that should give me a 4.6% alcohol beer.
Thanks
Solomon
