Hi all,
another quick question,
have my Balrogs Bitter fermenting
3.26 kg LDME
410g Crystal Grain
16g Target @ 60
18g Pilgrim @ 60
10g EKG @ 10
Whirlflock tab @ 10
Safale S-04 pitched Monday 28.09.09
23 litres
OG was estimated to be 1.059 and came in at 1.060, so was happy about that
has been fermenting nice and steadily around 18 degrees for 1 week until the last couple of days with temp decrease around 15-16 has slowed right down, now i have done the gentle agitation and wrapping it in towels and brought it into loungeroom which is a warmer ambient temp, has seemed to stop.
i checked hydro and it says 1.018, now the main question is approx what should be my finishing gravity due to the LDME?
i usually leave my brew ferment around 2-3 weeks regardless before bulk priming and bottling, but i will be going away next weekend and i dont want the yeasties alsleep and not cleaning up my beer if i have them going for another week
cheers
