Hi
I am currently in the process of brewing a batch of Young's Harvest Bitter. This is the first brew that I have ever done and so I am totally lacking in experience.
In the instructions it states that when the primary fermentation is complete the hydrometer should read 1.000 to 1.006. My brew has been fermenting for 10 days and the hydrometer has been reading at a constant 1.014 for the past three days. I have stirred the brew during this time to awaken the yeast but there is still no change. Why might this be and what, if any are the consequences?
In short, can I bottle/ barrel my beer or is there something else that I should try?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Rich.
