Thanks for the reply. The measurement was taking whilst the mash was still warm, in fact it was taken just after I removed the Brewbag so was still around 65c. I will take another OG Reading from the fermenter once it’s finished doing its thing, still chugging away after 2 full days. So fingers...

Thanks for all the comments. After the boil I just cooked as quickly as possible to 22c, Then pitched half a packet of US-04 into the carboy and put the airlock on. Santising everything that was likely to come into contact with the beer. It’s still bubbling away in the carboy in the living room...

Hi Guys Thanks for all the feedback. The beer has now finished fermentation, its fairly clear and a healthy mahogany colour...............now the bottling, I intend to make up a cane sugar solution in a sanitised bucket, syphon the beer from the FV into this bucket, stir gently and then syphon...

Hi, My first post following what seems to be my first successful brewing session. I only did a small brew in bag, improvised IPA using a Mikkeler recipe. Currenlty it’s in the FV and now once fermented have the daunting task of batch priming and then bottling. I will only have around 5/6 litres...
