This is my first try at home brew. I decided to start with a Coopers Indian Pale Ale kit from coopers and instead of sugar the shop I got to makes an an 'add to beer' mixture they say it is much better then corn suga . I started out one week ago in the plastic bucket (primary fermenter) it started with a 1040 specific gravity. I tested it today after a week it was 1010 and I transfered it to a Glass carboy. When I transfered it - it created alot of foam - but after an hour in the glass carboy most of the foam was gone only a small layer on little bubbly foar on top. Also when I do the calculation for alcohol it works out to only like 4.1 percent - will the priming sugar increse this during botteling? Have I done everything ok - any suggestions or hints when to bottle and the priming process?
