Hi all,
We have a problem with our second batch.
We our ingredients where a coopers wheat beer and a coopers starter kit 2 instead of sugar.
We did our mix, left our brew to ferment for a week and did a hydro reading. It was a bad reading of about 1.30. We left it another 3 days and took another, not much had changed.
We put this down to the change in temperature. We decided to add more yeast as there was obviously still sugar in the wart. We placed our mixture in the airing cupboard where the temperature has kept the wort at a healthy 24-26. Another week has gone by and our last hydro reading was 1.016. It is not moving very quickly, we are scared it may go off if we leave it longer for bottling.
Question is, have we gone wrong from the start? We looked at the brew enhancer kit we put in instead of sugar and it says they have in-ferment able sugars in it. Could this be the reason?
Any help you could give would be greatful.
