Update 3/22/11 Coppers Real Ale was bottled on 3/6/11 just opened a bottle and..........tastes.....GREAT.....lol nice head and colour, tastes a bit like Bass Ale. I'm glad I took the advice not to dump and bottle. Thanks for all the help guys..... On to the next brew.

It was super clear with a slight yeast deposit on the bottom and the plastic bottle was very firm when squeezed. I had it the fridge for 3 Days before drinking . At that point it became cloudy (beer haze....thanks to this forum for that info). Last night I put a couple in the back of the fridge...

My 1st brew was the larger that comes with the kit. Stopped at 1012 as well. Just tasted it after 3 weeks in the bottle......not bad....tastes a bit like Heinekin light but with a mild yeast aftertaste. I think it needs a few more weeks in the bottle

Thanks, Yes, bitter is correct Thank everybody for all your help I'm going to bottle it anyway........ Xmas gifts if it's awful.......lol My next beer..... British mild or brown ale .....not from a kit. :-)

My Coopers real ale has been stuck at 1020 for the last 7days...in fermenter for 21/2 weeks I was going to dump tonight... but I found this link...... tastes and smells okay.....should I bottle???? Thanks Steve

Hi Guys, I need some advice from master brewers on this forum. Brewing my 2nd Coopers kit..Real Ale (1st is in the bottle waiting to be tasted) everything was fully sanitized pitched at 27oC. Airlock was very active for 1st 3days then.....nothing. I've had the wort holding at around...
