Update guys I've just done another hyrometer reading and it's still sitting at 1.004 and have had no airlock movement since Tuesday So going to transfer into my secondary vessel tomorrow and going to leave it till midweek next week to bottle

Think this is what I'll probably do Les

I will do bud I'll be transferring with a autosyphon into the bottom of the secondary fv using the syphontube then will be using the little bottler from either the tap or stick it in the end of the syphon to minimise any sediment being transferred not decided yet I'm all new to this remember...

I know bud it does sound a bit quick it's normally 7 to 10 days that the average is I was expecting 1.020 range this early on but that reading was took at about the 22c mark also my fv seems to off cooled down to the touch was warmish when it was at it vigorous fermentation (bubbling stage) I'm...

Starting gravity was 1.040 Also the coopers instructions say that it can take 4 days at a higher temp to ferment out or 7 days at a temp of 21c Mmmmmm????

No mate I brewed it up on Saturday if it's nearly done I'll be well impressed i checked the reading 3-4 times on Saturday at the start and checked it 3-4 times today the reading is definitely 1.004 and going by my hydrometer instructions it sounds like I'm aiming for the 1.000 I could be wrong...

Right guys I've just done a gravity reading and it's showing a gravity of 1.004 but still bubbling every minute or so and it's already starting to clear a little bit I've just gave it a light stir and put the lid back on with the airlock and it's just bubbling every minute or so again I've...

Nice one Larry think I'll have to write that recipe down in a brewers log so I can make it sometime also if your after the coopers english bitter a bit cheaper try wilko there selling them for £10 a pop Thanks Les

Thanks terry for the quick reply my fv lid is airtight it just bowed up as if the airlock wasn't letting out the gases lol looked like it was gona explode so weighed the lid down with a empty demijohn and the airlock started working bubbling away like it should just the bubbling has slowed down...

Hi guys first time brewer here is just put one of these coopers english bitter on for my first try at brewing add 500g light spraymalt along with 500g of dextrose pitched the yeast at 22c going of the temperature on the side fv it domed the lid after the first day and didn't seem to be getting...
