Greetings,
On Saturday 6/16/12 I brewed a Brewer's Best Scottish Ale kit, O.G. was 1.036.
Kit instructions said O.G. should fall between 1.038 - 1.034 so I guess they knew what they were talking about. I checked it the next day and noticed a bubble every few seconds in the air lock. However, that is the last time I ever saw a bubble. Today, Wednesday the 20th, I pulled a sample and found the gravity was 1.010. I was amazed given the lack of activity I saw. However, I tasted the sample and found it very sweet. Anyone have any experience with Scottish Ale? Is that normal? I plan to check the gravity again this weekend and bottle if it hasn't changed. Any opinions would be appreciated.
