Hi All

I posted a was it too late last week re a kit i did which was out of date and i was worried it wouldn't work , i took advice as sudjested raised temp to aroud 24-26 deg C and low and behold fermentation seems to have started again after a couple of days , FG is now to 1010 , my question is should i let it go a little more or bottle now at 1010 , been in primary for 2 weeks , i dont normally rack , any sudjestions

Cheers

Once the gravity's steady for a couple of days, bottle away - Looks like it's pretty well there.

Just use the rough & ready method, which is surprisingly accurate - Take your starting gravity eg 1052 - knock the 10 off, which leaves 52 - then divide by 10 = 5.2%.
Examples: SG 1045, beer = 4.5%. SG 1070, beer = 7%.
