My brew belt instructions said use it only for 7 days, then unplug it. Why is that?? Anybody keep theirs running longer?

I use mine on glass and have for many many years and have had them on for 2 months a few times while making a couple meads before my basement had heat down there.

Cool. Thanks. Mine is on plastic primary fermenter.

Wow. This thing seems to be doing just fine now. Checked SG(.020) so I added 2nd 1/3 of sugar and swished real good. I'm using my 24" plastic paddle with 6 holes in it. Seems to put good amount of air bubbles into mix. Temp 75 degrees. Would you believe not 2 minutes after puting lid back on, the airlock got active for about 30 seconds! Pretty cool to know it's working.

Glad things are working well. This is awesome kit, you will really enjoy the final product!!!

Well, last two days been quiet at 1.023.

[Wade E]

Make sure its in the higher 70's and stir it good. Ive made thgis s few times and my first batch stopped right aroujd where your at but that was before we started stepping the sugar. Did you step the sugar in or follow the instructions. Whats the temp right now?

[WAG]

Hey Wade. Temp is 78-80. I've put 2/3 of sugar in. Waiting for 1.020 for last third. I'm stirring good every day.

[WAG]

Ok. Waited 2 days, SG down to 1.021. I added remaining sugar. Is it ok to not to add in equally spaced days? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[Wade E]

Thats fine, just make sure its still going down before adding anymore sugar! This kit likes to get stuck and you still have a fpac to add so if it seems to be stopping go easy with the Chap pack as you will want to add the whole fpac as thats where all the flavoring is.
