Hi hade a brewpacks beer some time ago and I felt it could have been a bit stronger. This Time I added 1K sugar even though it said it didn't need it. After adding the sugar the SG came to 1046 which using on-line calculators came to 5.5%. Very strange!
However these are the daily SG readings.
Day 1 1036
Day 2 1026
Day 3 1016
Day 4 1012
Day 5 1010
It seems to put the breaks on after a time and go on a preverbial GO SLOW. It is still fermenting but at an incredibly slow rate. Any Ideas? Too much sugar? Only 5.5% acording to on-line calculators. I am using an independant yeast which has a higher temperature range. Safale s-40
TIA
Desmond.
