Hi - I've used a kit with a 5 gallon starting bucket and a secondary fermentation 5 gallon pressure barrel.
It seem to take off slowly at first and what was going to be a week in the first bucket , I ended leaving for 2 weeks.
Transferred to the pressure barrel with some priming sugar , but what was going to be 2 weeks hasbecome 4 because it is not clearing.
It is still not clear even though it smells and tastes quite nice and there is quite a lot of natural pressure in the barrel (I have no way to add additional CO2).
I'm not sure how much longer to wait although I am keen to add as few chemicals as possible.
It has in total 1.5 kg of sugar not including the seconday primiing sugar. This was a combination of light brown sugar and 500 grams of spray malt and it was a tin of some generic dark English ale.
thanks in advance for any advice.
cheers
