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.
