Hi There
Im in the process of doing my first brew, Its a Brewcraft Ginger Beer
I just used the yeast that came with the ginger beer kit and a brew booster that was supplied with my brewing kit 600g dextrose 200g light malt 200g Maltodextrin/corn syrup
with the og reading it was done about a day after i put yeast in as i didnt have a hydrometer was around 1050 after 7 days SG was around 1.020 i added the extra ginger beer flavoring they provide.
checked again this afternoon 2 days later its still sitting on 1020 maybe 1019 with the extra malts how much higher should FG be over the normal bottle at 1010/1008. taste abit watery with a ginger aftertaste not to bitter, i presume i would of been better making it to around 19-20 liters instead of the 23.
Pitched yeast at 23c has been fermenting at 21-22. Now would i be safe to bottle, or do another reading tomorrow ether way it allows me to soak my bottles in PSR abit longer as they were 2nd bottles id like em as clean as i can get
Thanks
