Priming when bottling

[Ian1967]

Hi All

just trying to find out if I need to use priming sugar when bottling 23 litres of Ghost ship clone and how much

I made some homebrew ipa previously and followed all the instructions (6 TBSP honey) and it was like opening bottles of champange, so i dont want to make the same mistake.
I have dextrose this time but I cant find out much info on the uses of priming suger or quantities to use, unless it is going in a keg.

Thanking in advance

Hi all, I brew a beer last Monday and it’s been fermenting for a week. I think the fermentation process was almost finished after 4-5 days.
However it has been extremely hot down here. Up to 28c in my garage during the day.
What are the chances of it being ruined?

Thanks in advance

It should be fine, it just might taste a little different to what it would have done if it fermented cooler. Does it smell OK?

 

[Ian1967]

Yes it smells fine i cant quite work out the gravity yet.
it was 1.050 to start at 21c and now its around 1.020 but the temperature is still around 28c

Have you checked the S.G. two or three days in a row? 1020 is quite high for it to finish. I would leave it another week then check.

1st reading was 7 days ago last reading was yesterday when i posted this.
What if I waited until the weekend when the weather breaks and add some more yeast?

Wait until the weekend to check it again and then decided. Do a search on here for "stalled fermentation", there is lots of advice. It may be enough to gently stir it.
