Wilko's Golden Ale low ABV.

[mancer62]

Hi there brewed a batch of Wilkos Golden Ale on the 11th Aug (22 days ago) with an OG of around 1037 it has now stopped at 1012 which I believe would give me an ABV of a very disappointing 3.3%. Last week I swirled the bucket around incase of a stuck fermentation but seems to have made no difference to the FG whatsoever. Is this a normal ABV for this beer as I was expecting somewhere around 4% any suggestions, opinions etc will be greatly appreciated ty.:

I made the same kit and had similar results.

Its been in the PB for just over a week now. Tastes a bit malty not really what I'd call a golden ale taste.

How has the taste of your developed over time since the bottling / barrelling?

Put two of these kits on last night, mixed to 37.5 pints and OG 1044 for each at 20°c so will see what they ferment down to. Got them in wilkos sale so at £12.75 a shot 4% abv will be fine :-)
