Put it somewhere warmer.

Have you got a hydrometer? If so, what does it say (and what yeast did you use)?

 

[darrenwest1]

used ale yeast from a wherry kit i had left over and it is at 20 deg constant

Mine is also bubbling still (after 2 weeks now). I am planning on a taste test and a hydrometer reading tonight.
Its at 20 deg and I used Safale S-40 (I think..its the one on the Cheeky Vim recipe) yeast.

Took a reading and a sample tonight.
Tastes nice, but quite appley... 1028 reading, which I have worked out to be = to 5.3% ABV.
I'ts still fizzing away, so i'm going to leave it longer.

How low should I expect it to go?

Cheers

I think the taste will come out with a week or two maturing :grin:
