Okay experts
I have made my first batch of beer. It is Irish stout, I used liquid yeast, and put it in the primary for 10 days, then moved it to the secondary now for 10 days. Because I am newb I forgot to take the hydrometer reading at the start. Damn it.
Anyhow It seems to have stopped everything and is sitting happily in the glass carboy. Is it safe to bottle it now?
Also how do you add the carbination sugar? Do you heat it in a ban of water then add it. Put it in the bottom of the bottling bucket dry and fill the bottling bucket? See how green I am?
Also one video on youtube says wait a week after bottling, and another DVD I have from MidWest says 3-4 weeks before putting it in the fridge and drinking it......So what is the deal?
Thanks everyone.
