    OG reading

    I have just done a brew which should have had an OG of 1056 (20 litre) I have a reading of 1066 but only about 16 litres. Would topping up to 20 litre bring it to about 1056 or would 4 litres of water take it past that

    Coopers Sparkling Ale

    I brewed this about a year ago and it was in FV for 22 days at 18 C but only got down to 1014 from 1054. I brewed it as instructions which was 1.5 liquid malt, 500G spray malt and 300G brewing sugar. From what I remember it was a nice drink but I would have left it in bottle for 8 to 10 weeks...

    . My plan was to use the two buckets so I have extra insulation, I use them already for mashing in the BIAG method and stick an old fleece over them which works well. I have been thinking of wrapping the outer bucket with some sort of insulation but may just stick to the fleece

    Kit upgrade, but which one?

    The only thing I changed was the tap so I could get a hop filter on it and it was the lhbs that done it for me so didn't have to buy anything, no other changes to it
