and this beer is supposed to be a 6.5% abv. with my calculations 1050 to 1020 is about 3.5 fermenting temp has been a steady 68°F

so i have a question... i went to check gravity today after about two weeks.... and noticed my brew is still actively fermenting. .. bubbles still slowly popping in air lock and i checked gravity its still at 1.020 ... is it stuck... or just be patient

lol not home made my son (year old) kept trying to remove it... therefore it was taped to the fermenter. so it didnt go missing while i was at work.

why not buy an auto siphon

why not just buy an auto siphon ... thats what i use. works like a charm

ive been doing ok.. 2nd batch still fermenting havent check gravity yet since last time and yea.. no test tube screw that... i wash and sanitized the hydrometer always before putting in fermentor.... tied a thread to it so i can pull up easy lol

if you look early in this post youll see my first batch

i know the cups a bit outta season but screw it lol!

Well whats crazy is i just a literally bottled my first batch tonight... !!!! and literally had 10 times more trub thenmy 2nd batch and i got 7 bottles. ! i had a bit extra brew so couldnt help myself but pouring the last bit in my cup to try!. as of now even as many mistakes as i know i made...

thanks mag pie. lol that cat food has been moved sense i dont even remember why it was on the table i believe my wife was cleaning. haha. possible you could answer question above?

or just sit and wait i need opinions! i know patience is key... but seeing how much better this brew looks time is killing me

lol no issues was ganna say jeez hostility on my 2nd post? over some BIABs lol... but i check my gravity today its at 1.020 is that looking good or should it be lower? seems like no visual yeast activities. .. should i rouse yeast slightly?

thanks ! yeahh im impatiently waiting on these to be done haha i want to try them

Thanks man. yeah i learned alot from the mistakes off of number 1 lol last time i didnt even chill the beer nearly as quick

roughly 36 hours took the blow hose off place airlock on ... bubbling has slowed dramatically. .. let sit a few more days and test gravity

should have posted that i did add cold water with the snow! i know that once melting turning to ice is not good! with cold water and snow i actually dropped the temp from 170 to 70 in roughly 18 mins.i was aware thank you for advice! next time ill be sure to use ice water to see the difference

And again sorry im new to homebrewing so the abbreviations are new as well ! please explain ! cheers :mug:
