Only my 2nd batch and it's been fermenting 14 days now. SG at a few points high and alcohol is low by about .5 to .75%. I gave the fermenter a swirl (based on other posts). How long should it be before I'll see a change, if it's going to change at all? This is a Red Ale. Best Brew kit. SG is at 1015 and kit has FG range at 1008 - 1010. Alcohol should be 4 - 5% but is at around 3.5%. Brew temp is 68 -72 depending on ice bottle status. I don't have an initial SG.
I'm using the Tub, Water, Ice and T-shirt (TWIT) method with a fan for cooling. I will be building a better cooling method soon. The beer tastes great, just worried about the numbers.
Thanks for a great site with great info.
