Stu and Chopps, thanks for the advice, I will post my results soon.

That's great words my friend. The wort is in sealed in vac sealed bags so I expect that to be fine.

The kit yeast packet is 15g

Thanks that's very helpful. Would you suggest 15g.

Hi, I've recently found a youngs pale ale kit in my cupboard but the yeast is out of date by 2 years. I cannot find that precise US WEST COAST Yeast so can anyone offer advice. Its potential has to be 5.6ABV Thanks, Tony

Thanks to everyone for their answers and advice. With regard to this being not a great beer I am not one for a strong hippy taste, stuff like London pride suit me. I recently brewed Evil Dog and did not like it one bit, even not adding the two sachet's of hops failed to reduce the strong hop...

My coopers family secret ale has stopped at 1010. its beer brewing well for 7 days but has suddenly stopped.ive added half a cup of sugar solution to it because it also tastes quite dry. This surprised me because I started with 1 kg of sugar for a 40 pint kit. Any ideas please.

Thanks once again. The link gave me a good idea how hard I need to it it. I might just use a rubber hammer though. I have a tap fitted to the fv. I soaked it in sterilising solution be for I lay the been down.

A lot of members suggested a hydrometer but although helpful no one really offered any guidance even though I did supply the reading at the start of the brew and yesterday. Maybe I am in the wrong forum? Any ideas guys? Tony

Thanks a million guys and I can confirm the reading at the start was 1.04 and its currently 1.02. I don't think I can offer anyone a 2% beer can I? From what your all saying I think I should sit back and keep an eye. At the moment the glugs are 4 mins apart. Tony

I bought a Wherryreal ale kit to start my first ever brew and almost 4 weeks later its still pushing bubbles through the airlock. The directions say 4_6 days but even though there are 4 mins between clubs its still going. Should I continue? After all its sealed in the brew bucket. I did taste...
