My last two brews were Brewferm Tripel and a grand Cru. The Tripel came out at 8.4% and four months down the line is clear, tasty and potent as I only had 500ml bottles and its not easy to leave a bit for later is it?
Now for the Grand Cru. I used spray malt instead of sugar and it went berserk in the tub and stopped popping after 3 days. Left it for a further 12 before testing. Lovely smell but it was sitting at 1.022 which seems quite high. I've bottled it anyway as I need the bucket, its 6.7% abv anyway and I didn't know what else to do.
I've heard of stirring up or setting more yeast but it seemed pretty finished to me. What would YOU have done?
