Hi,

I brewed my First batch 10 days ago using a Coopers Canadian Blonde ingredients kit. I mixed it with 1KG of coopers Brew enhancer and Half KG of full spraymalt wheat. The OG was 1.050 and has been at SP 1.013-1.014 for about the last 3 days.My query is.
1)Is this SP ok to be an FG or is it too high?
2)Will the bottles explode if I bottle it?
3)Or is it because I used Brew enhancer and spraymalt and not all the sugars in these products are fermentable and in fact an FG of between 1.013-1.014 is ok to bottle?

Sorry if that all sounds a bit confusing,first time brewers paranoia

Thanks

hi , the reading sounds fine to me if it has stayed the same over the last 2-3 days then its ready for priming and bottling just remember to use the right amount of sugar and the right bottles or kegs ,rule of thumb is lagers 1tsp per 500ml ,ales 1/2 tsp per 500ml ,if kegging usually about 85g-100g depending on how fizzy you want it remember this is only a guide line its all down to personal preference, and they shouldnt explode , as for the brew enhancer and the spray malt they will ferment out no problem dont worry everybody worries on there first brew hope this helps if you have any more questions just post away and somebody will point you in the right direction :thumb:
