Long fermentation of ag

[mead1ntyneside]

Hi, I set away my first AG Saxon Honey Ale on the 4th, 14 days ago, I don't have heat belts or any temp regulation equipment as yet but tried to keep the temperature of the room at around 20 degrees. I'm still getting the odd bubble from the airlock about every 20 seconds or so. Will this be safe to bottle now or should I wait? My OG was 1.050 I'm sterilizing my kit now and should have the current Gravity pretty soon if it helps any.

This is where your hydrometer is the most useful Take a reading now and again in a couple of days if readings are the same you can bottle.

Cheers Piddle, I'll keep an eye on it :thumb: :

Hmmm, My hydrometer readings are at 1.000 now, can it go any lower than that considering it's at the same gravity as water? Gonna be a little cracker of an ale, at 6.6% abv :clap:

Are you sure its 1.000? It seems very unusual for a beer to go that low...lowest i've ever got is 1.010...

Yeah, It's sitting at 1.000. It's a saxon honey ale, a bit like mead but with less honey and Malt extract and crystal malt. It's a funny little ale but just had a taste. Bitter, sweet and dry lol

It'll not be sweet. Thats for sure.
