Hi Everyone
This is my first post to the list and I'm a relatively new brewer.
After having done 3 brews from kits and not getting any of them down below 1015 I decided to take some of the advice on this site and throw away the kit yeast. I bought a packet of Safale 04 and decided to try the Little Creatures Clone. I used the following recipe:
1 x Coopers Australian Pale Ale
1 x 1kg Light Malt Extract Powder
12g Cascade Hop Bag (steeped 10mins) at the start
12g Cascade Hop Bag (dry at 72 hours)
Safale 04 Yeast (I made a starter approx 24hrs before pitching)
Fermentation temperature was 23degC on average (it fluctuated between 22 & 24. I use a dead fridge for fermenting).
OG 1040 SG 1014 after 9 days.
My question is, is this low enough for this brew or should I be aiming lower. If so whats the next step because it has stopped fermenting (2 identical readings over 2 days).
Thanks Guys
