Im on my second batch of beer, so still quite a newbie.
Making a czech pilsner using Mangrove Jack extract and muntons plain extra light spray malt extract.
The recipe on the can called for 1 kg of dextrose but i used an equivalent amount of the spray malt extract as the sugar.
Wort making seemed to go fine, thought the batch took about 3 1/2 days to start fermenting and bubbling.
Im currently 2 weeks into the fermentation, bubbling has pretty much stopped so i checked the gravity and its at 1.019. My OG was 1.024, so im calculating an ABV at 0.656%.
Should i be patient and let it sit?
Im worried that my substitution of spray malt has resulted in less sugar for the yeast, hence less conversion to alcohol, hence non-alcoholic brew!! aaahhh.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
