Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I ran into trouble today, came down with Corona, so far so good ,feels like a flu. My question is: Today I wanted to bottle my Sweet Nektar Kolsch, which I dry hopped already 7 days ago, but it still hadn't reached FG before. The recipe says FG 1018, mine is today 1010, maybe the extra honey I added? As I don't have access due to self isolation, how much longer can I wait to bottle without spoiling the brew? it's in a cooling bag with constant 18C Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The honey I used is my mates from north bondi. he had to move the hives cause his little boy got stung (poking the hive with a stick) The honey he extracted was not really ready as the frames where not sealed yet. so i used 700 grams instead of 500gr. I've done this recipe before as a single batch with some extra of the same honey. It was so nice I had to do it again, and more of it. first batch had an ABV of 5.7%, didn't have the bag then, fermented at around 22-24 C. I also used Willamette Hops. this time I used NZH-107. ABV should be around 6.4%. It was tasting good yesterday. Thanks buddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
