hi its been fermenting for 15 days now ,sp was 1040 down to 1005. ... it is not clear and there is loades of bubbles on top. I moved it out of the airing cupboard , 5 days ago and put it in the kichen.


To get it ready for bottling Did upset it but would have thougt it was settled by now Any advice :

Check your hydrometer 3 days in a row. If the gravity is unchanged, then it's ready for bottling. Wherry should finish around the 1.014 to 1.012 mark, so any lower than this is pretty good.

Get on a well known auction site or check sponsors and get a little bottler. You won't regret it and they are pretty cheap. :thumb:

:

1/2 teaspoon per bottle, magners bottles are 586ml, but you wouldn't need extra sugar.

If you use a bottling stick, fill to the brim. As you remove the stick, the beer level drops to give the correct head space. Otherwise, leave about 4cm.
