After finding three old sparklets beer kegs in my loft I decided to try a bit of home brew and bought a bucket ,syphon and a youngs bitter syrup tin , it has now been fermenting in my airing cupboard for 7 days . The hydrometer has a white ,red and yellow marks and according to the instructions it needs to be 1.006 in the yellow zone before you can transfer to a keg . Any way it seems to be stuck at the top of the red zone . Should I wait or shall I transfer to a keg as it has been 7 days?
Also on the the kegs I found two have screw tops with no pressure relief valves and one has a bulb system for gas with what looks like a pressure relief valve any advice on which might be the better one to use? also is it safe to use the kegs without the relief valves?
Any advice appreciated?
