Cheers guys, going to rack this later today then, I've left it somewhere a bit warmer and it has dropped slowly to 1.015 so we are not too far off. Tastes pretty good so quite looking forward to this one! :thumb:

I made a brewuk way to amarillo extract kit and that was superb, I bought enough ingredients to make 2 batches so another will be going on soon :thumb:

Maybe it was temperature issues in the end, just strange how the only issues I've had so far have been with 2 can kits. Putting me off the last wherry kit I have! Will get it racked in a few days :thumb:

Still at 1.020 so have given the whole thing a gentle stir. What would you guys do if it stays at 1.020?

Didn't realise that, will keep that in mind for the next brew going in :thumb:

Yeah it's actually my first brew in a brew fridge :whistle: Temp was set to 19 degrees with a +/- of 1 degree but now raised to 20.5 to try and get the yeasts going again. Temp probe is half way up the fv behind some bubble wrap. What temperature would you put the stc at for this type of yeast?

Me neither, only reason I swapped was because of the wherry getting stuck! Plus like I say the initial ferment was very healthy so I never expected this one to become stuck especially using s-04 yeast, ah well the wherry finished at 1.014 after a stir so if still stuck I'll give it a stir :thumb:

Cheers guys, not sure who make the wilkos kit, probably muntons like you say. These are the only two brews that have stuck for me, I haven't gently stirred the beer, just agitated the fv slightly and increased temps to 20.5 degrees. I'm looking at yeast starters now so thanks for the tip :thumb...

This is the second time I've had a stuck ferment at 1.020 and the second time I have used a two can kit. Am I just unlucky or is this a common theme with 2 can kits? First was a wherry (obviously known for stuck ferments) but I rehydrated the original yeast and just now a wilkos golden ale kit...

Good to hear, the treacle is just too overpowering at the moment! Will leave them alone for another few months and report back :thumb:

Does the treacle taste mellow out after a while? Used a tin of it and 1kg extra dark spray malt and coming up to 3 months in the bottle the treacle comes through very strong!

Well I swapped the yeast for S-04 and made this kit up to 21L, quite looking forward to this one. OG 1.045, 1st time using my fermentation fridge too :thumb:

I've got one of these I wanted to get on for summer. Haven't read the whole thread but was thinking of doing 500g light spray malt, 700g dextrose and using a coopers european lager yeast I have leftover, what do you think?

Does anyone recommend swapping the yeast out with this kit?

Excellent post Aleman, informative as usual :thumb:
