I thought I would start seeing signs in primary fermentation but read another piece of text where it says priming before putting into keg adds a head. Well not making it flat anyway. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Head retention? As for this brew i can't see how the beer will be foamy and have a head? Having read up on it, is there anything i can do since i have an extract kit and heard that heading agents wouldn't do much on these kits at the priming stage? as for the gravity readings there dropping...

As I had 1.010 with my old hydrometer when it wasnt broke 3 days ago, I read on a stuck fermentation help page that if your less than 5points away from your fg and getting the same readings over consecutive days it's fine to carry on to secondary fermentation in a pressure barrel. Really don't...

Right, new hyrdometer reading reads at 1.010 and advises not to bottle/keg until reaching 1.006. So I shall have to wait a bit longer. Is finings recommended at the end or just leave it to naturally set at the end of primary fermentation. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

OKay will do. Wasn't too sure if the broken hydrometer would work tbh but does sound wrong. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Deffo got a stuck fermentation so gave it a stir and going to pop out and get some extra yeast nutrient. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Got a problem! Gravity reading according to my slightly broken hydrometer has gone back down to 1.020 and no bubbles are forming. By broke I mean the glass has shattered a bit at the top and the end has come off nowhere near the readings. So as the reading has gone back to original gravity...

Made to 23 litres as just started doing beer brews, probably should of done 18 as I love a high abv ale. So up to three weeks is fine in primary fermentation, as kit only says 4-8days. As for secondary fermentation in a pressure barrell, where is 'priming' sugar available in the UK? Sent from...

It's a John bull beer kit so hops and that was in a glupy liquid form mixed with water and brewing sugar and added dry yeast. Seems to start smelling like beer so hopefully is fine. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Started fermentation 6days ago with a gravity reading of 1.020 currently been 1.010 for few days but kit says for low carbonation drinks it should read 0.998.Is this progress about right ? Temp has dropped to probs 17℃ once or twice, when kit says between 18-24℃. Should this be a...
