Hi, I've got two brews going at the moment.
Coopers Sparkling Ale
1/2 tin of liquid light malt
300gms dextrose
200 gms light dry malt
100gms corn syrup
Safale US -05 yeast
SG 1046
FG 1012
Guess at alcohol 5.1%
Morgans Indian Pale Ale
1/2 tin of liquid malt
300gms dextrose
200gms light dry malt
100grms corn syrup
Sg 1046
Fg 1012
Same alcohol content
I have done the FG readings today brew has been on for 10 days. Temp between 24 and 18 best I could manage with both in tubs of water with ice and fans blowing on them.
The interesting part of this long winded ramble is that I taste tested both today at temp of 22 degrees and both are very carbonated lots of bubbles in the brew taste great. I have never had a brew that is this carbonated when in the fermentor.
I was wondering if this level of carbonation means that the fermentation process is still going even thou the hydrometor reading is at a constant 1012. Have done previous checks last couple of days.
Was comptemplating as to just filling a glass of this warm nector and locking the shed door and not coming out until the barrel was empty.
