4 day fermentation

[birdy]

i started a coopers bitter kit on 1st april s/g 1048 with 5oog beer enehncer and 500g medium malt checked gravity on 4 april it is down to 1009 already. Ihave done about 20 kits so far and this is the quickest to reach under 1010 is this because of the ingredients i have used:drink:

Could be down to temperature, was it warmer than normal?

it could have been my thermometer has broken and i went on touch will this affect the taste

I could be wrong here, but I think that some kits can get down to near FG in just a few days, then tick over slowly until they reach their true FG.

I wouldn't take my word for it though :lol:

The Coopers English is a great kit - very well bittered. If you have a second FV you could think about racking it off to another FV for another week or so.

If not, 2 weeks in the FV will get you good beer quicker in the end.

Then 2 weeks in the warm, in the bottles.

Followed by 2 weeks in the cool.

Then it is basically OK to drink.
