Hi all,

Was hoping I could get a bit of advice on my hydrometer readings. I am currently brewing an IPA which has been fermenting for 12 days now. On day 10 I took a hydrometer reading which read 1.022. The instructions of my beer say that the end fermentation reading should be 1.015? If the reading on day 12 today is also 1.022 am I confident enough that the fermentation has finished and ready to bottle this evening. Is there any reason it may have stopped earlier?

Any help would be appreciated.

James
 
Sounds like it's done , you could try raising temp a bit for a few more days to try and ring out a few more points. If not I would leave till day 14 anyway , read again and if still the same bottle
