Hi guys,
I am trying to brew a Coopers Pale Ale clone, I'm using the coopers kit & 1kg of malt booster (same ingredients as brew enhancer 2 apparently).
The gravity has been the same over two days, twice, but the beer still tastes very sweet. It looks and smells like beer, but it does look cloudy. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure I'm taking the readings correctly, but if they haven't been taken correctly they are at least consistently incorrect. I don't have a suitable jar so I'm using the tube the hydrometer came in. I do the readings at 20*c and have a fridge controller set to 19*c
Is it ready to bottle?
Should I be concerned by the sweet taste?
There's a ring above the wort in the fermenter, a friend said that was normal and is just where the head was and that it's not an indication of infection.

Comments Coopers kit expires: 29/11/15; With 1kg of Brew Blend - Malt Booster 15 instead of sugar (contains: light dry malt, corn syrup / maltodextrin, and glucose/dextrose) - should enhance mouthfeel, body, flavour, and head-retention).
