Jim's Beer Kit

bottled, 500ml ,fg 1,008, colour brown reddish, taste similar doombar,primed 1/2 teaspoon white sugar in each, so i will leave 14 days then start to enjoy

do i need more demerara or is it enough to hit target Depends how much you're making and how strong you want it to be! With the quantities of malt and sugar you're using you'll get 23 litres of wort at about 1.036 original gravity. It'll ferment out completely and give you a beer of about 4.6% alco...

That seems like an awful lot of brown sugar and treacle.

your saying to much, so i need stronger yeast?

I'm saying that much brown sugar and treacle will give you a sweet tasting beer no matter what yeast you use. At 1.010 it is done.

your right ,i will dry hop to balance cheers

I've used that høg norsk yeast twice now and neither went below 1.012 so my guess is you're probably done with fermenting. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk thanks ,i am dry hopping to try balance sweetness, still bubbling every 30 mins or so ,what yeast do you use wth an IPA cheers and thanks

make sure your glass is clean. A perfectly clean glass will result in a bubble free liquid,dont you watch QI? If you want a head on your pint use a syringe to suck up some of the beer and slowly squirt it back into the glass. thanks for advise, i watch albert tacklock and ena sharples, thats enough...

thank you Guypettigrew ,bottling 500ml priming each bottle, just dry hoping for a few days, have taken your advise ,cheers
