The only thing I can say is try and get the yeast going by bathing your carboy in some hot water. Worked like a treat for my red wine earlier.

I'd love to keg but I'm trying to do this cheap with wine bottles and corks. This will be my first ever brew and it's cost me about £9 so far. I'd like to keep it that way :)

So sarcasm aside, if my kit says complete in 4-6 days an I'm on day 7 with a little bubbling in the airlock, will I get a nice beer or just 40 bottlebombs?

Laughed quite a lot at that, thank you :mug:

I know this question obviously sounds stupid, but is is possible to bottle a stout in the final stages of fermentation to maintain some fizz? Or do I have to wait and add sugar like you would with Cider? Thanks

So would it be worth doing this now, it's slowed down a hell of a lot, i'd hate to get a stuck at 1.015 or so

Oh really, I thought this process would be a week, maybe 2 at max. It's nice to know it's still got time. Thanks for your help

Off the top of my head it may have been the Gervin, i'll be able to find out tomorrow, But that's about all I can give you sorry

I'm scared of it stopping as it's slowed down completely. Is there a way of getting them going again if so?

Yeast sold separate, 5L of pure apple juice and 200g of sugar :) :mug:

From my local UK brewing store Dry 8 grams No known og as I bought hydrometer 1 week into ferm. However gravity 1 week in was 1.048

What information would you like? I dont really know the brand of yeast as I was a couple of weeks ago, except the fact it was a 'Cider' yeast.

After 1 week of fermenting (I bought my hydrometer AFTER making the cider, Don't ask...) my specific gravity was 1.050, now another week on I'm at 1.020. What is considered dry, medium, sweet? Also, it's SUPER cloudy, can I add beer finings? Thanks :)

Nope, fresh and pure

Store bought apple juice + 200g sugar Don't know the yeast, i know it was cider yeast however Direct pitch dry onto surface No yeast nutrients Average 18 Celsius Hope this helps, its my 2nd brew after a horrible batch of Mead, hence how new i am :)
