Hi folks,
I'm a relative newbie and only on my 6th ever brew! I decided to attempt to make some ginger beer with the hope to bottle it ahead of the spring/summer period.
OG was 1.044 and I pitched safale s-04 dry ale yeast hoping to convert most of the fermentables.
4 days in the fermentation appears to have stopped. It smells great. So I took a reading gravity now at 1.024.
I expected the gravity to be lower( my last brew IPA ended at 1.008).
Should I go ahead and bottle this brew or try some kind of restarter?
Many thanks
Martin
