Irish Ale Help

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tuesday May 24, 2005 6:16 pm

Hi Guys,

Followed the recipe as per the Coopers Website, except for i boiled the lot before pitching the yeast(Sat 21st May 4:00pm). I took the OG reding at 1050 at 21 degrees.
Stayed constant st 20-21 degrees.
It is now Tues 24th and bubbling through the air lock has stopped and my only problem is my hydrometer broke due to the touch of an idiot.
I was just wondering if there are any pointers that i coul get because the soonest i can get a new hydrometer is Friday.

Cheers,
Nathan

Nathan,

No harm will come to your brew if you leave it untill after Friday to check with the new hydrometer.

I did an Irish Stout recently and left it in the primary for 3 weeks. It was with a can of coopers dark malt. Came up really quite drinkable when I tried it last week, needing only to carbonate a little more.

Cheers,

Greg.

White stuff's normal. That's the yeast

In my humble opinion, more beers have been ruined by worry than anything else

Your beer will be fine.
