Probably. I am in the UK so might be a bit cooler than 68. Both. If I leave it, then the bubbles happen around every 12 seconds now. No signs of infection.

I used Lallemand American West Coast Ale Yeast

Great advice, thanks!

Ah I get it now. How much gap would you leave it between the two readings?

thank you! I took the OG but I have no real idea what the ABV should be, so what good would a gravity reading do, out of interest? I always take the FG reading before I bottle and work out the ABV...

Hi all. I am a small batch beginner brewer and have a few Qs. I've got some beer fermenting that I made recently. On Sunday it will be two weeks since I made it so I had hoped I'll be bottling then, however it's still slowly bubbling so I assume it's still fermenting. I don't have the tools...

Thanks everyone. I will definitely give it a week or so before bottling as I want to dry hop it more and chuck in more grapefruit peel. As always I really appreciate all the guidance on here. Cheers

Yeah I wouldn't click that!

Thanks. it's possible - it's the same demi and screw cap as my avatar. I wonder if it's not the tight seal it once was...

I never really saw the rolling at all. Maybe some minor rolling for a brief period (few hours tops)

Thanks for all the responses. Well, I've just taken a reading like you guys suggest and it's 1020! Somehow in 5 days it's gone to 5.25% without any visible action. It tastes decent (needs bottle conditioning) as well. Is that possible? I am not worried I misread the OG but I cant see...

I could do but what's the point? It's clearly not been fermenting as no CO2? I will try to take one tomorrow though as you suggest. Thanks

Hi everyone During the lockdown, I got into brewing small batch 1g and thanks to all the wonderful help on this forum, I got some pretty decent results. After a few months off brewing I decided to brew on Saturday but it was/is a disaster and I wonder if you can help me salvage it. In a...

No worries! I only lost a bit - it's a bit obvious I guess... !

You're telling me! I added the hops during peak fermentation (too early - was 20 hours after pitching) and then it went nuts.
