Hello there!
I recently bought a set of the homebrewing kit (only the basics till I am comfortable with the whole process) and a can of Wilko's Sweet Newkie as a googling told me that it was one of the better kit beers.
My question is this, my hydrometer tells me that I should not bottle the beer as it still has too high a specific gravity (OG 1.042 FG 1.012 as opposed to the FG 1.008 as specified on the can) but it also says that once the reading is stable for 3 days then it is good to go.
This reading has been consistent for the last two days.
I dont want to jump the gun and end up with a load of bottle bombs, so any advice that you could give would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Roachski
