Landlord.
Took the gravity of this last night and it read 1.024. Tasted the residue and I thought it was really bitter. A disaster, or so I thought.
So I took a proper sample this afternoon in a trial jar (rather than putting the hydrometer in the FV). The SG was 1.016 and it tasted good, although had a bitter aftertaste.
The instruction say to aim for a FG of 1.010 and I plan to leave it in the primary for another 5 days, then secondary for a week. It will have cleared sufficiently then so I can bottle it.
