Hi, I making Morgans royal oak amber ale and fermentation was weak from beggining no bubbling in airlock and almost no foam. OG was 1.040 after few days I took sample and it was 1.020 . Now after 2 weeks sample is cloudy and fizzy whats mean that fermentation didnt finish ? after 3 weeks? . I have problem with gravity reading because once it is 1.017 once 1.020 once 1.024 its by gas? how to check gravity well with fizzy wort ?
What should I do ? I used can yeast and can recipe says that fermentation temperature should be 22-30*C . My fermentation temperature is between 16.5-18 *C And thought that its correct temp for ale yeast.
How long fermentation can take ?
Above photo of my sampling and reading after co2 gone a bit .
Sorry for panic but It is my first attempt to make beer and dont want fail on my first batch.
