Hello
This site has been a goldmine in getting me set up and through the first 5 AG brews. Many thanks.
A query: I have a brew of the White House Honey Ale (extract kit from Brewstore, I think - gift) which is sitting at 1020 after 23 days in FV. What would people advise: should I bottle at this high SG?
The brew started at 1071 (!) so perhaps it's time? The brew is as cloudy as Dickensian fog.
Should I:
1) Bottle?
2) Rack to secondary? (this would be in a week: need to add new tap to extra FV)
3) Other?
Advice and views gratefully received.
The details:
3kg spray malt
340 Crystal
230 Biscuit
Yeast: Windsor
Pitched at 17c
Volume: 16.5l (misjudged the boil-off due to naivety
)
Gravity readings
Day 0: 1071
Day 9: 1022
Day 14: 1022
Day 20: 1020
Day 23: 1020
Fermented around 18-21c (lost my notes on the temp readings)
