Hi Guys,

I put down a Coopers Stout with 1.5 Kg of dark malt and 700g of dextrose. It's been 5 days and the gravity has been stable at 16 for the last 2 days (it started off at 60). I know that malt doesn't ferment down as much as dextrose am wondering what I can expect this to get down to??? I'm going to be leaving it in the fermenter for another couple of days (3 or so) just to be sure.

Cheers,

I would say its done, most of the stouts i have done have finished at 1.018 or higher so as long as its constant over the 2 days then its done

You could get it down to 1010 potentially, but I'd expect 1014. 1018 seems a bit high for 1.5kg.
