If your finishing gravity is much higher than you are expecting
(eg. Above 1.020 for a normal beer),
your fermentation may have stalled. If this is the case, give the fermenter a gentle swirl to ‘rouse’
the yeast back into action and make sure the temperature isn’t too high. If this doesn’t work, you
can sprinkle in some more yeast.
If you want to know what alcohol by volume (‘ABV’) your beer is, you can use this easy-to-use online
calculator.

Premium ingredient packs
The reality with ingredients is you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a premium beer
without the additional steps, then look no further than our
premium range of Muntons
products
. These packs are tailored to their style: the oaked ale includes quality malt with
real oak chips, the American pale ale includes an additional packet of dry hops and a
premium American ale yeast, the Belgian saison ale includes an authentic saison yeast as
well as extra pack of malt to recreate that authentic secondary fermentation.
