I don't take the lid off and stir it up first ??

Once the yeast in pitched don't stir it or shake it, you would only do that before pitching the yeast.

What is OG reading ?

The gravity of the beer/wort before you start fermenting

Hi all

Just to let ye know our hoppy apa beer tasted great I have attached a pic. 23 L didn't last long. We have another brew on a coffee stout its still in the fermenter the air lock was bubbling like mad for 2 days very quiet now anyone any ideas how long a stout should be left in ? and any tips on bottling it ? When we bottled our apa it was very flat we added a half spoon of sugar to each bottle and it worked wonders.

2 days is about right for vigorous fermentation but I would leave it about another week or 2. Think about batch priming as you don't want stout getting over carbonated

Thanks, We are coming to 2 weeks now in the fermenter with our stout. what is batch priming ? We have just bottles would it be ok just to fill these and could we carbonate the stout by using sugar again. Any advice welcome.

[auralabuse]

Batch priming is where you pit a pre calculated amount of sugar into the beer before bottling. The amount of sugar is determined by one of the online carbonation calculators. Its the beat way to ensure consistency

[Ed]

You put the priming sugar into the fermenter so that the whole batch is primed at once, rather than putting the priming sugar in to each bottle separately.

Thanks I understand now. As i said it is in the ferementer for 2 weeks now. Would it do any harm to leave it longer as I am going on a 10 day holiday and i am bate for time.

It'll be fine to leave it
