About 13 days ago, i put a brew down, it was a Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale, with 500g Dextrose and 500G Amber Dried Malt Extract.
I had it between 18-20c but one night we got a really cold snap, and the usually stable temp room dropped to around 15 (i have a thermometer next to it that gives me the past 12 hours).
I was worried it had stalled, so i took a reading and got 1020, knowing this wasn't done, i searched here, and found some similar topics, followed some instructions and got her fermenting again! keeping it at the same temps 18-20, there was visible fermentation happening so i just let it do its thing, fast forward to today, i took a reading and got 1010.
My original reading was 1040, is 1010 a reasonable finishing gravity? I gave it a sniff and took a taste, smelled like beer and tasted like beer, i will test her again tomorrow, but i don't see any visible fermentation and its cleared a little bit to my eyes.
This isn't a bottle brew, this one was planned to be kegged for the SWMBO's birthday on the weekend (my keezer isn't done, so were having it at her parents house, and im taking the keg to her dads setup, (he also has a brew ready for it, and i've got my wheat beer bottled and ready to chill too). If its not ready, that's fine, but i thought i would check here.
Cheers!
