Thanks for for the feedback

Primed with 120g so hope that is ok, gonna prime an irish stout tonight. Brewed short at 19 litres as you have done yourself 90g prime sugar? Cheers Stevie

Instructions state 150!

I have a second fermenter with a tap that i pour beer into, then bottle from there. Cheers Stevie

Thanks for info

Hello Im ready to bottle my Evil Dog Double IPA ( 7.2abv), was going to batch prime for the first time using Tate & Lyle sugar. I was going to put in 120g then syphon beer into the 2nd fermenter. Do i stir the sugar when syphoning the beer? Thanks for any help. Cheers Stevie

Cheers!

Will perhaps leave the next kit a few more days to see if there is any more movement in fermentation Cheers Stevie

To add to the mystery i have beers fermenting in the same room and they are fine with ABV

I make sure the FG does not move over a couple of days. Wine is usually in fermenter for 7 days

I have my fermenters in a small music room, I do place the brews on the floor where there is hot water pipes directly under them. Usually brew at around 24 degrees. Do you think that is a little on the warm side?.

Aye, comes out a 1000 in water

My OG is coming out at 1.080 and finishing at 1000, cant seem to get it to go any lower.

Hi Ive tried a few Cellar 7 and Solomon Grundy 30 bottle wine kits, they taste decent enough but i struggle to reach the 12% and the wines comes out at around 10.5% Should i make less than 30 bottles , hopefully resulting in a higher ABV? or add more sugar or perhaps try different yeast...

Yeah, ive read conflicting stuff. Im a newbie so just have to try and read in between it all and learn by mistakes. The homebrew shop guy also told me to beware of forums LOL.
