i am new to the site and this is my first post.
i am currently brewing a coopers wheat beer kit to which i added 1.5kg lme and .5kg dme topped up to about 22.5 liters.
got an og of about 1.046 that dropped to about 1.020 in about 3 days.
after a further 4 days i added more yeast (same strain)as the fermentation had not budged.
i left it a week and now the gravity is about 1.016. at all times the temp has been very stable between 20c and 22c. should i bottle soon?
also does anybody know about the attenuation of coopers yeast???
this is my second brew, the first i tryed was the same kit with 500g dme and 300g dextrose. this came out fine but a bit lite with a og of 1.034 and an fg of 1.008 which is why i loaded it up with malt this time.
any advise or suggestions would be great
many thanks
