Mine started out at 1036 and I reckon only got to about 1008 so we're broadly the same. In terms of the fermenting temp I don't think you have to worry. I have limited knowledge in this area (this is only my second brew) but reading everything on this site (and indeed the reviews of this kit)...

Mmmm beautiful brew this. Took it from the second Fv last Saturday (added 100g silver spoon dissolved in 100ml water). It's been sat in the warm all this week, bottles nice and firm so decided to chill and crack a bottle tonight. Here it is! Not much head but tastes lovely and lots of fizz.

Tried it tonight with one of the calpol syringes and got a lovely creamy head ! Although on fairness didn't get a bad head on this on anyway... Tasting lovely now

Got this on as my second brew as it was so cheap in Wilkos. Used muttons brew enhancer rather than sugar. Brewed as per instructions really although taking into account what I've learned from previous brews. Reviews seem to be quite mixed so will be interesting to see how it turns out. Started...

100g for me too

I doubt it'll go much lower than that mine ended up about the same.

So as I promised a report back on my Wherry! Opened a bottle last Thursday and was a bit disappointed little fizz and no head. I have feeling though top wasn't on tight....however as a precaution I bought the bottles back inside for more warm conditioning. Put one in the garage on Wed and opened...

I racked mine into a 2nd fv after 10 days, left for 5 days, batched primed and then bottled. It was in warm for 10 days and cleared after 5 days. Now conditioning although will be trying another tonight....will take a PIC if I remember.

I'll try to resist but it's tough! I'm not a quafer so I reckon 40 pints will last me a while. I see the next couple was just quality control and will try and leave it then until end June! I agree about getting next brew on though.

So just to reply to this (as I started it). I did exactly as suggested and batch primed. I had though already transferred my beer to a second FV so I added the sugar (silver spoon 100g) to 200ml of cooled boiled water to dissolve and added this to the 2nd FV. Bottled it on the 5th May. Beer...

Cheers PMS67...I'm going to skip the drops and batch prime instead!

Hi all, my first post and my first brew...so as with many breaking my duck on a Woodfordes Wherry. Down to 1012 and no movement for 4 days and so transferred to a second FV tonight and will leave at room temp over the weekend before bottling. Had a little try and seemed ok...so fingers crossed...
