So, hi everone. In 2009 I bought all my brewing kit and posted on here for basic advice, and then, well, life got in the way. Work, kids, you get it. Anyway..
I find ally got round to doing a Coopers Stout. I followed a recipe on YouTube, and it went:
One can coopers stout
500g dark malt
500g sugar
1 tin black treacle.
I brewed it all about 36 hours ago and didn't see any airlock activity, but put it down to a pap seal on my bucket. A few questions though. Firstly, I forgot to take an SG. Newbie error. I had a look today and it looks like it's fermenting well.. But took a hydrometer reading and it was at 1055. Is this usual for the amount of sugar I put in? This seemed quite high.
I intend to leave it for a good week now and let it ferment. The temperature it's sat at is about 17 degrees C. Is this OK? Thanks for reading!
