Hi all,
This is my 3rd brew I have done and to date my previous ones have been surprisingly good for a first timer.
I am 8 days into a a Brewcraft Becks style larger and the FG seems to be stuck at 1024 over the past few days. Below is what I have done and used.
The kit contained the following:
Black Rock Export Pilsener
Black Rock Light Liquid Malt 1.5kg
15g Hallertau Finishing Hops + 15g Saaz Finishing Hops
Nottingham Yeast
I cleaned and sanitised my equipment and followed the Brewcraft instructions and got the temperature of the wort? to 22 degrees C before pitching the nottingham yeast.
The OG wt this point was 1048
Then I put the fermenter in a converted fridge set at 12/14 degrees. The instructions said a range of 12 - 18 degrees.
The fermenter had a long lag and there was no activity for 2 - 3 days.
After about another 2 -3 days the fermentation seemed to have stopped.
I took some hydrometer readings and now after 3 consecutive days I have a reading of 1024.
The FG readings seem high and when I have tasted the brew it seemed very sweet but no fowl tastes.
Does anyone have any advise if this is OK to bottle soon or what has happened.
Thanks
