    SG Reading for a Stout?

    I am brewing my first Stout. I started out with a OG reading of 1.056. It has been in the fermenter for two weeks now (very little activity through the bubbler at all) and reads at 1.012 (it had the same reading about 4-5 days ago). Is 1.012 in the range for a stout? The initial gravity...

    Curious....no bubbling in a week? but gravity readings changed...

    I am doing a Coopers IPA in the Cooper kit bucket (6 gallon). One week and I have not noticed anything coming through the airlock. This is the 4th batch I have brewed (different style each time) and the first time I haven't seen anything through the airlock. I started with an SG or 1.046...

    Fermintation....slow??

    I am brewing a Coopers IPA....on 5 days and no bubbles....the temp is about 20 degrees Celsius with a brew belt on. The lower temp I would think it should be a slower fermentation process...but does anyone have any sense if something might be wrong?? :confused:

    Alcohol content question.....

    I am brewing my third batch, and out of curiosity I was wondering what my alcohol content would be. I ran through the calculations of a SG 1.040 and FG of 1.008 ... I come up with 4.3%. Is that a normal range for a draught?:confused:

    Time for fermentation to begin - Draught (Coopers)

    I just started my third batch today. First was a Beligian Ale, then a Wheat and now a Draught. The wheat had a ferocious fermentation... I pitched the yeast about 9 hours ago...and still nothing....anyone have any experience with a draught (Coopers is the one I am using)? It is right about 24...

    Time in fermenter question....?

    I have had a Festa Wheat Brew in the primary for 7 days...have checked the past couple of days and seems close to the FG...but there is a little movement. The Gravity is reading 1.014 and is supposed to be FG 1.0120 - 1.0128. Have a beer belt on it and kept temp at 68-70 degrees. I am...

    OG Question

    I am brewing my second batch, a Festa Brew Wheat. The first time I brewed I didn't take an OG measure. This time, it is around 1.050. I am assuming that is normal?

    Festa Brew kits

    Has anyone tried the Festa Brew kits. I purchased a Wheat kit today and was curious if anyone has had any experience with them.

    Two weeks in the bottle....

    First time brewing, doing the Coopers Bavarian Lager. Have bottled and now have been in bottles for two weeks. My understanding is that it should be about good to go, but I understand also that the longer, couple of months, it will get even better. Do people normally try it after two weeks...

    Bottle Bombs?

    Ok, I think I am about ready to bottle my first batch. It is a Coopers Bavarian Lager. It has been in primary for 15 days, SG reading was just about 1.010 (maybe 1.009). I don't have the initial gravity, but a week ago it was at 1.014. Question - Should I have to worry about bottle bombs...

    First batch - Specific Gravity not low enough?

    I just started my first batch last week (8 days ago) with the Cooper's Home Brew kit. I am trying the Bavarian Lager. The SG is reading about 1.014 and the bubbling has stopped a couple of days ago. The reading yesterday was the same as the reading today. Instructions say I need to gbet...
