I have been brewing the Woodfordes Wherry kit and have encountered some difficulties. The instructions say that it should be ready to bottle when its gravity is 1014 or under but I have a homebrew book that says 1010-1005, well the gravity seems to have leveled out at 1012 and its been like that for 3 days. The kit is made by Muntons and I saw in another thread that Muntons yeasts arn't too good at fermenting complex sugars. With an OG of 1040 this will be about 3.8% abv and not 4.5% which is what it said on the box, I have bottled it now and am waiting for it to mature a bit before trying it (box says two weeks).
Does anyone have experience with this kit, does it typically stop fermenting at 1012? Would it have been better with a different yeast?
