Sid Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 On the 11/04 I had a go at brewing the traditional larger. I made it as per instructions with the initial temperature being 23 deg C. After 6 days everything seemed to be going well temp had dropped after the first day to 18 deg and maintained between 18-20. SG reading on day 6 came in at 1017 after an OG of 1038. I left it for a couple of days as I am expecting a reading somewhere in the vicinity of 1005. Today I checked again and I am still getting a SG of 1017. I am new to brewing and according to instructions with a stable SG I should be bottling, but to me it seems like it will be too high and I will end up with a light beer which is not my intention. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC15 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Have you got bubbles on the bottom of the hydrometer? Try degassing the sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
