And if the reading drops to 1.010 true reading 1.006 then wait for 3 readings of this.

They are out of soak,lids are just sat in place not fully shut. Then i have a tea towel over them. If the reading tomorrow is the same as today should i go for it ? Only as somebody said they do go down to 1.006 Do i wait or bottle them up ?

Up early this morning so i took another reading. 1.012 true reading 1.008 This was the same as yesterday so i will take another reading tomorrow and see. In a previous post it was mentioned that these kits do get down to the FG of 1.006 but these are only suggested figures & may not allways get...

Hi, I took another reading today as advised. Todays reading was 1.012 As mentioned in a previous post ref calibration 4 points out,this then makes the brews correct reading 1.008 I will continue to take another tomorrow. As the advised FG is 1.006 and tomorrow lets say the reading is 1.006 do i...

Whilst the Mrs was out i decided to continue with the next step. The above bottle tree is a 80 bottle type but it actually has 88 spigots on. I have only used it for 40 bottles so i have 3 spare sections. Very easy to put together & very rigid in construction.

Yes it is a bitter. Lets say in between at 85g that would make it 2.98oz Now another newbie question, That would give you 1.8 to 2 volumes of CO2 ? Does this refer to how fizzy the end product would be and if so on a scale of 1/10 what would it be or dont it work like that. Another learning...

Ok I take the advice onboard & if all ok sunday i will go straight from this bin into the other bin & bottle. I will then forget the 2 days in the seconday. Is 3oz ok for this brew ? No mention of this on the kit not that i would of believed it. Please advise.

It reads specific gravity 20 degrees c. I will get another reading tomorrow & sunday. Is it then ok to continue with the below method. Assume sat & sun readings tell me its finished,transfer to secondary bin for 2 days so a little more yeast can fall to the bottom. After that mix 3oz priming...

I only purchased 6 at the moment and even got a stare from the lady on the till. Just as well i did not get all 12 in one go,what would she of done then :o

If this dont sound to stupid,i used water straight from the tap and took a reading 1.004 I then left the hydrometer in the water in the room where the FV is and the temp in this room is 20/22 I went shopping & took a reading when i got back,still 1.004 I used standard white sugar 1kg. I will...

I have now purchase some bottles from Morrisons. Looking on the shelf all the fizzy drink bottles had the logo as shown below on the them. The cheapest bottle with this logo was Morrisons own lemonaid at 18p per 2 ltr bottle. There were other bottles,like the still water i mentioned in a...

With room temperature water the hydrometer is reading 1.004 not 1.000 as mentioned. So my previous reading of 1.014 is realy 1.010 correct ? If so when it reaches 1.002 this should be the FG as then the true reading would be 1.006 ? But why two readings at 1.014 ? Sorry for all the questions...

When i mentioned clear up i mean i was thinking that it would clear a little more,yeast falling to the bottom. My bottling stick fits onto the tap & not into the brew. What do you think about the photo,does it tell you anything ?

I have shown a photo below for you to look at. I will take 2 more readings over the weekend.

Just looking in my recycle bin i have a used lemonaid bottle that has the recycle triangle with the words PET below and there is a 1 within the trinagle,it also has the indents on the bottom. I think i will look out for this at the store. Thanks

At present the temp is 22 but falls to around 18 in the evening 10pm. I will take another reading Tomorrow & sunday this then should advise me i assume. I just thought by putting it into a seconday would clear it up a little better but if its done & leaving in the FV for a couple of days i...

So tomorrow if its still 1.014 carry on and transfer to the secondary for 2/3 days then bottle. Is that what you are advising ? Thanks for the reply.

Just an update. Started a beer kit 16th April SG 1.040 Hydrometer reading 26th April 1.014 Hydrometer reading 27th April 1.014 I had to call youngs bitter so i thought i would ask them roughly what the FG should be and i was told around 1.006 I told them my readings and i was told it was...
