Teddys FFV first batch 100l is it done

Postby austenpowers » Fri Oct 13, 2017 8:42 pm

HI guys

its been 4 days from ferment start of my first 100 l batch of my first FFV
it stoped bubbling lunch time today and I have just decided to put the sg meter in her ..

the redline is in the wash and it looks to be right bang on 90 or .90 temp is 28 deg...

is it stuck or finished I've tried to decipher the lingo in the ffv threads and I assume from reading that as long as its below 100 its good

can some one tell me if that's right and if my sg is ok .....

thanks :teasing-nutkick:

If its floating with water level above 1.000 your all good. 1.000 is water gravity .990 is below the density of water not sure if anything goes below .990 :handgestures-thumbupleft:

To get down very low you need to make rocket fuel with very high alcohol percentage thats going to be shit.
