Hi all.

I made a batch of 2 can malt ale on Saturday, and all appears to have gone well, venting nicely etc. it's been at around 24 degrees constant and now I'm getting a vent approx every 20 seconds with an hydrometer reading of 1014.

What would be the advice now? Bottle or leave for a bit longer?

Thanks
 
leave it for 10 days,then rack into another fv that can take a little bottler. Let it cool for 3 days then bottle....

Thats the way I'd go.
 
sorry, im as thick as lumpy custard. what do you mean "then rack into another fv that can take a little bottler"?

thanks
 
it that so the bottles fill from the bottom up? i have a spare 25ltr bucket fv that i could fit one to so ill give that a go.

told you im thick - whats the advantage of doing this over a siphon tube straight to the bottom of the bottle?

ta
 
its a lot easier to manage...
give both methods a try and see which you prefer.
However give the brew 10 days
 
thanks. ill give it 10 days, then bottle leave for a couple of weeks at room temp then fridge?
