Think panic over

[Donkeykong]

Hi
started my first brew on the 1st, berwferm pils
Started spot on with airlock bubbling nicely then it stopped yesterday
Did a gravity reading 2day and it was 1.140 which I think is not bad for 3 days going to leave it a couple of days then do another test to make sure it's not stopped. :pray:

I'm hoping you mean 1.014, otherwise that's a proper barley wine!!!

Hi, did you mean its dropped to 1014 (not 1.140) well first you need to leave it at least a total of 10 days maybe 14 . Even if your brew has finished fermenting the yeast needs time to clean up the brew (flavour etc ) What was your starting gravity ? your brew may drop to around 1010 (is it a kit brew ) hope it goes well for you .

Hi, ya I ment 1.014
My first reading was 1.044
I had a little taste before and consider the time it's been fermenting it wasn't bad so I'm hoping it will be a good one for a fist time brew in ten days
Cheers
