Amaretto Kit

olip1549

I made the amaretto kit/ am in the process of doing it now, I did the first 8 days of fermentation with stopper, another 3 without and only got to 1.000FG, I put the powdered charcoal in and now am currently waiting for the 3 days for the charcoal to settle, will my alcohol still be ok at 15%?

Hi olip1549, the instructions say to aim for just below 1.000 so yours is very close, and this will be nothing to worry about, the charcoal can take quite a while to clear and not always the 3 days the say, but once cleared it can then be used, the finished product may be a little weaker than aimed for but will be close
