But at least they're nice ones!! :)
Brewing Woodforde's Wherry with 1kg BKE.
Started at 1.050 on Tues, have done a reading and it's now 1.020 (3.9%), my question is after 4 days if it has dropped that far, how much will it continue to do so? I would expect the sugar conversion to slow with time.
Also the clarity, how much will it clear in the next few days? Will wait until I get 2 static readings in 24hrs before bottling after the weekend.
The taste put me in mind of Wychwood's Circle Master :shock: '=P~', very refreshing with a nice zesty finish :wink: , again it's early days but how will this change?
Am more than pleased so far, and I presume if I continue to get things right my brew (and brewing) will only get better from here :) .

Sorry mods could you delete one of the topics as I appear to have double posted - Ta :)

IIRC the Woodfordes Wherry normally ferments out at around the 1012-1014-ish mark.

However, your addition of the BKE may result in a higher final gravity than this.

It will probably be your best bet to take two consistent readings in 24 hours as you have already suggested or leave the brew in your fv for 10 days before bottling.
