I am a complete beginner at home brewing and have a few questions about two kits I have started...
I Bought a Woodfordes Wherry kit and an FV from Wilkos. The bubbles in the airlock stopped on the third day, hydrometer reading on day 4 was 1.014 and the same on day 5. Could it really of finished that quick or has it stalled?
The other kit I bought a little earlier was Coopers Micro brewery starter kit, Lager. The fermenting has finished after 6 days however the sample drawn off for the hydrometer reading was very cloudy. Will it clear in the bottles or should I wait until it is clear before bottling?
Many thanks guys for any help.
Has my Wherry stopped or just finished?

The Wherry that I've just done fermented out very quickly. It won't hurt to leave it a couple more days to see if it drops lower.Weejock wrote: I Bought a Woodfordes Wherry kit and an FV from Wilkos.

Thanks gentlemen.
I'll leave the Wherry for a few more days and start bottling the Coopers.

My wherry did the same thing, just give it very gentle stir, mine kicked back into life for a few days after a stir and reached 1010.

Thanks Donnydarko, I followed your advice and it is starting to foam on top again.
