Cheers. Think my next problem will be patients...

If your FG is around the 1.010, you could disolve the sugar in a small amount of water and bring to the boil and add the mix to your bucket before bottling. That way it doesn't matter what size bottles you use. My question was more to do with the FG being lower than expected. I'm not sure if...

Thanks. I'm really new to this so no mash involved, pre hopped kit. I did use wyeast 1214 instead of the yeast in the kit and used golden syrup rather than white sugar. Do I need to adjust the amount of priming sugar before bottling or should it carbonate anyway?

Hi I have a brewferm Belgian triple with a FG of 1.004. The OG was lower than expected at 1.054. It tastes good. Currently bulk conditioning. Is there anything I should do before bottling considering the low FG?

Hi folks. I have doubled up 2 Brewferm Old Bruin kits to make a 24 litre brew and used wyeast 1214 instead of the standard yeast (which is an absolute animal by the way) and golden syrup. OG was a bit under at 1.054, expected 1.060. I transfered it to a secondary fermenter so its about 23litres...

Would it be worth adding the sugar I missed in the beginning and leaving it some more?

Ok, it's been another week. Three all together. Gravity is still 1011. Did notice the odd bubble every once in a while... But very few and far between. Should I risk adding the additional 200g of sugar I forgot? Should I keg?

I read a thread where someone was reusing 750ml leffe bottles and corking rather than capping. After raiding our recycling box, which I might add hasn't been emptied since before Xmas before someone says I've got a problem... I found 24 of these bottles... Love leffe brune. Anyway, does anyone...

I was thinking about it... Clearer beer. But then people say your dont, your more likely to oxidize or introduce infection.

Well now I'm really confused...

Think I'll give it another week. Gravity was 1.011 today so it's going in the right direction. Tasted a bit like a weaker ruddles county. Thanks for the advice.

Well it's a good job someone does... I ain't got a clue...

Noticed a few bubbles today... Only one blow every half hour... I'll leave it a few more days. Thanks

If I leave it, will the sediment taint it?
