Hi everyone, started homebrewing not long ago and now I'm on to my second batch, but ive have some problems, and i would be grateful for some advice!
The kit that I am using is a Muntons Gold old english bitter kit.
The OG was around 1.045. Its been in the fermenter for 9 days and yet the current hydro reading is only at 1.017 when its meant to be at 1.014. As its been in the fermenter for 9 days now, and the hydro reading has barely changed for 4 days, (although there is still a bit of krausen left at the top, and bubbles are still rising to the surface) what do I do? Am i being impatient? the kit says it should be ready after 7-8 days, but it seems to be taking a long time. I don't have enough experience to tell whether its stuck fermentation etc, so any advice/tips would be very much appreciated.
N.B-The yeast that i used was the one supplied with the kit, and the temperature has always been constant at around 68-70 F.
Thanks alot,
Tommo
