G'day fellas
First time brewer, but have been reading and salivating at threads here for a little while.
I did my first brew a couple weeks ago: A tin of Coopers Traditional Draught, 1.5kgs light wheat malt, 300g Dex and a bit of cascade hops strained in at the end, all in 23L. That great spreadsheet floating around gave me an estimated OG of 1052 and FG of 1013 (from memory). Actual readings were OG 1051-2 and on the 6th and 7th days a FG of 1012. I wanted to check it on the next day but I knocked the end of the hydro tube while measuring and smashed my hydrometer :unsure:
I had to go away unexpectadly this week just gone and knowing that temps in Melbourne were going to get pretty hot, I cleared out my fridge and stuck the fermenter in there for the week.
So do you think my fermentation would have finished and I am safe to bottle given the FG was spot on the expected value? I know the yeast would be asleep and dropped out of the beer now, but is there anyway rouse them if they still have some fermenting to do?
beers
