9. Let the fermentation vessel to stand in peace without direct sunlight. After 12-24 hours, you will see that fermentation has taken off, a little foam on the surface and the brew is cloudy.
   
10. Wait. Plan while waiting some stylish labels.
    
11. On day 6, it is time to measure the density of your hydrometer. If you mixed the potion as above (1300 grams to 8.5 liters, the start value, OG, always 1047). Now measure on day 6, drain off some of the brew in the measuring tube through the tap and throw it away. Drain some more, this time so much so that hydrometer can float freely. Read the value when the liquid intersects the graduation.
    
12. Measure for consecutive days until you see that the value is stable over the 2 days. This basic recipe can FG become something between 1010-1006. FG varies from brew to brew.
    
13. When the FG achieved, it is time to bottle. Take the opportunity to smell and taste the brew, it tastes like stale beer, it's OK to bottle.
    
14. Add carbonation drops bottle. Screw caps properly!

1. Store the bottles dark, in 18 degrees C or more, at least 2 weeks for the second fermentation in the bottle to take place.
   
2. After 2 weeks, you can check the pressure (the bottles will be rock hard) and place them in the refrigerator so they're well cooled.
   
3. Time to enjoy your own hantverksöl!
   

Hint! Different beers can feel good about a certain shelf life and this differs from person to person. If you store the beer a bit longer, among others bubbles become finer (smaller) which helps to build a creamy and durable foam crown.
Hint! How to calculate the alcohol content? Formula: OG FG minus divided by 7.46 = 0.5% plus. Which thus could become: 47-8 is 39 divided by 7.46 is 5.2 plus 0.5 will be about 5.7% ABV.
