Finished fermenting?

[DonPolo]

OK so I did a back to basics brew of simply an APA can and the kilo of Brew Enhancer number 2 as per directions.

Ian H's spreadsheet predicted a final gravity of 1.11. OG was about 1.40 as predicted. Fermented at about 18C.

6 days later I did a test and the reading was 1.15 so a bit high and there was quite a head on it which look quite a while to clear and bubbles rising quite rapidly (fizzy).

Now after 8 days it is reading 1.10 so about right. However in the sample there is quite a bit of effervescence almost like the finished product poured into a glass.

I'll test tomorrow again just to be sure but I haven't seen this effervesce before to quite this degree. Is there anything I should know?

Not used BE2 before.

I dont use BE2 but use LDM and Dextrose. I got similar readings.

 

I thought (like you) mine was finished after day 6, but checked my other readings and they were out. So i left it (again, like you) for a couple of days and it was where it should be. This was using US05 though.

It's pretty normal for the samples to be gassy. Bump the temp up a bit, give it another 2-3 days, then take another reading. If it's still 1.010 then it's done.

Ta!
