Also a Brewer's Best kit for me. The kit came with Fermentis Safale S-33 Ale Yeast (green package). Since i've already racked it to a secondary, I'll let it sit a week and bottle. Hopefully, if all else went well, it will be a solid brew come Christmas time.

i apologize for the redundancy, still getting used to the navigation here. Glad to hear it turned out alright. 7% is where mine should be according to the hydrometer readings.

When you crack the first bottle open, let me know how it turned out

The temp fluctuated from low 60's to 70's, for the most part. I may rack it to a secondary and let it sit for another 2 weeks before bottling. Let me know how it turned out once you've had a bottle

Very well, I'll probably let it sit for a total of 4 weeks and put it into a secondary so I can start my next batch. Temp is pretty steady around mid 60's, but I don't really have a way to keep it consistent in my apartment right now. When you crack the first bottle open, let me know how it...

2 1/2 weeks. I'm planning on bottling next week to let the yeast I added settle to the bottom

EnjoyGoodBeer, I've ran into the same situation. 2 weeks later and its still at 1.030. Added some extra yeast hoping it might start back up, but nothing happened. Did you get any bottle bombs? Or should I be good to bottle in a couple of days

What could I expect if I added 1 lb Candi Sugar and 1 lb DME?

Moving onto my 4th batch, Brewer's Best Scottish Ale. It calls for 3.3 lbs LME and 1 lb DME, which will get me to 3.25-3.5% ABV. If I wanted to increase the ABV% and get a heavier ale, could I add an additional 1 lb DME? Or will this cause the beer to be too sweet?

Thanks for the feedback, definitely feel better about letting it sit with where its at now.

its a Brewer's Best Belgian Trippel with an OG: 1.081 and FG: 1.017-1.020. I took a reading today (Day 3) and its at 1.030. I bought more yeast to pitch, and if thats the case, should I pitch the entire package, or only half?

Everything was going well, until it came time to pitch the yeast and I spilled some on the counter. The counter was pretty clean and I scraped off the yeast and picked at anything that did not belong and added it to the yeast. In all, I lost about 1/4 to 1/3 of the yeast. Whats the chance that...

Brewed my 3rd batch a few days ago, a Belgian Trippel. When pitching the yeast, I spilled some on the counter, so the whole package wasn't added. After 2 days of vigorous fermenting, it has stopped, no CO2 being released, bubbles in the airlock, etc. I took the hydrometer reading and it read...
