Right, 3rd brew, Coopers Australian Lager.
10/02/14. 22 litres. Pitched yeast at 23c. SG 1048. 500g Brewing Sugar,500g Light Spraymalt, 454 Golden Syrup, 1tsp. Yeast Nutrient, Water treated with 1 Campden Tablet.
It was fermented at between 17/20c in my spare room.
First couple of days it bubbled through the airlock like a vindaloo.
After 4 days it slowed down and then there was no activity through the airlock. Checked the gravity and it was 1.022.
Two days later and the same reading 1.022.
Stirred it up and there was slightly more activity through the airlock and then after a few hours, nothing.
Left it for another 3 days, checked the gravity and it was 1.006. Got the same reading for 3 days.
Moved into the garage to cool down for 5 days and it is very cloudy. Tastes nice quite nice though.
But its really cloudy. Looks like scrumpy.
Now my question is: Do you think its ok to bottle, bearing in mind that the SG was constant for 3 days. Im not bothered about the cloudiness, it tastes fine and thats ok by me. Is there anything I can do about the cloudiness?
Any advice, Chaps?
:wha:
