So I originally hijacked the following thread http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=54936&page=3
Where I had some questions about this kit.
So far I have bottled and I am waiting, but I think it turned out ok.
I started a second batch on Saturday, and this time I have been monitoring it at bit more carefully. Bubbles started in less than 6 hours, and its been going strong every since.
Only issue, as with my first batch, was that I never got the recommended OG with the instructions and I had to add in an additional 800g of sugar slowly over ~ 2 hours and checking to be sure I had it at 1.070. I haven't measured the exact SG of the sugar I am using, but it pretty much works out prefect for everything else I have tried and gets me nearly 100% spot on to what I have calculated.
I just did I check now, and I am sitting at 1.024 since Saturday. This could be why I didn't see anything the first time either if its going to hit 1010 so quickly. Temp in the room is controlled to 22C.
This is pretty much going in the exact same route as the previous kit.. and I am not complaining if the previous taste before bottling was anything to go buy, It just seem pretty quick?
Any thoughts would be really appreciated?
PS: Could a Mod fix my silly typo of the subject
