13 Days ago I put down my first wash which was a turbo starter pack (came with the still) and 6kg of white sugar. It took off within half an hour bubbling aggressively and did so for the next three days. I had the fermenter in the kitchen too keep an eye on things as well as a more consistant temperature which by day three was sitting on the 28 degree mark. The fermenter was moved into the back shed as the other half didn't appreciate the aroma coming from it. Within a day the bubbling had slowed quite dramatically and after 3 days in the shed had stopped altogether but the airlock looked like there was still pressure inside as the level hadn't equalised yet and with the temperature sitting on 18 degrees. 2 days later I took an S.G reading as things hadnt changed with the airlock and got 1010 so let it sit and tested again this morning almost a week later and still have a reading of 1010. So my question is..... Is 18 degrees too cold for turbo yeast and is there a way I can get my S.G reading down to 990?
Cheers guys
