This is my second kit....The first kit turned out fine. So i got a Muntons Premium Gold (Midas Touch Golden Ale) kit and started it 2 weeks ago. Sanitized the hell out of everything exactly like i did the first time. I forgot to take the specific gravity when i started, so i have nothing to compare it to.....
But today, a full 2 weeks after I started the batch, I checked the S.G. and it was 1020!! I'm refurbishing a keg and waiting for some keg 0-rings so I didnt check it before because I had no need as the o-rings hadn't arrived (and didnt want to risk infection buggering around in it).
The airlock bubbled away once ever few second for a week or so. I've had the fermenter in water with a towel wrapped around it to keep the temperature down....its been between 20 ~ 23 degrees celsius the whole time. There is that ring of brown stuff (name has escaped me right now) around the inside of the fermenter and the level of the liquid had dropped.
The directions on the box say it should come out around 1014!!! Today, 2 weeks later its at 1020!!! What is going on here?? It smells a little sweet, but doesnt seem to smell or taste bad.
Advice appreciated here.....I just ran and got a brew out of the fridge to try and relax!!! hahahaha.....
