  Well, the bottles have withstand the FG with no problems, and after popping one open and
  sharing it with friends I have to say this is a really tasteful beer, with a good body and
  flavour, and not muc...

  I only take 1 reading in the beginning and then try to minimize further sampling. Normally I
  would take only 2 more readings, one to check for FG and another 2 or 3 days afterwards to
  check if the FG ...

  Personally I either drink or discard the sample. Even with sanitation procedures it's another
  possible way of contaminating the whole batch and in my opinion it's not worth it. I don't
  really like to ...

  Well, sorted it out. The rubber stopper did get a bit loose (from the pressure, I assume) so
  the airlock was not totally hermetic. I fixed it and the actual activity is plenty. It's
  bubbling like once...

  Well, my 5 liter batch did bubble for 3 days before stopping almost completely. Right now there
  is no visible bubbling whatsoever. The fermentor is still well closed (the liquid in the
  airlock would b...

  Made a 5 liter batch of this yesterday, using D-47 too. BTW I also did what Yaksha did, I left
  the spices in the fermentation vessel (cinnamon and cloves) instead of straining them out. I
  used 1.5 kg ...

  Well I finally bottled the brew with a FG of 1.020. After 5 days of sampling the FG would not
  get any lower so I decided to go on and bottle. I used a small amount of sugar for priming and,
  at least f...

  Hi all! After 2 weeks and a couple of days, I took a sample and checked gravity. It was
  somewhere between 1.020 and 1.022 (the beer is so cloudy being a wheat that it is almost
  impossible to say more ...

  Well, I finally brewed this yesterday. These last weeks have been a bit busy with a new job and
  schedule (yay!).I did the following:First I made a starter for the yeast. I used a 1.5 liter
  water bottl...

  I don't really know anything about autolysis, but I also had several 5 liter mead batches going
  for more than 1 year (on primary) and then bottled them with great results. Maybe mead is more
  tolerant ...
