Hey Crew,
So I’ve just bottled my first batch of Ginger Beer using a Copper Tun kit. To get straight to the point, I’ve just realised I think I’ve bottled with the SG to high?
My reading was stable for 2 days through day 8 -9 at what I can read as 1.030, (see attachment) from reading further today through the forum, this is way to high? Even know it was stable for 2 days like the instructions said?
So the batch is fully bottled, in glass bottle in the shed, and I’m shitting my self, (1) because I was super excited for it to be ready, and I have a feeling I might have to throw out (2) I’ve potentially have ticking time bombs in my shed.
My ingredients where:
1 x Ginger Beer Copper Tun Kit
an Extra 0.5kg raw sugar
Extra half a cup of fresh great ginger boiled down and strained into mix.
My questions are:
(1) What are my options throw out, leave, poor back in and keep fermenting?
(2) What should my SG be at roughly to know that it has finished?
(3) Any other important pointers I should know.
Thanks so much for any help, sounds like it’s a great community here, and please don’t flog me, this is my first attempt.
Cheers,
Sax
