Hey all, trying not to flog a dead horse and here but I have a question about the asahi k&k from brewcraft, I've done a search have read whay I could about the kits but would like some clarification.
First of the recipe:
Beermakers larger
Brew blend #10 - beer enhancer
500mls japanese blond malt extract
15g hallertau infusion bag
15g saaz infusion bag
S-23 saflager yeast
It's been in the fermenter for 3 weeks now at about 12 degrees. The og was a little high, 1.048 where the recipe says 1045 so not too concerned about that, over the last few days it has sat around 1.010 although I left the last sample in the test tube for the day and it looked to have dropped to 1.070 where the instructions say 1012-1014. Concern is the dry enzyme that goes in, shouldn't the fg be around 1.000. I asked 2 different people at 2 different brewshops both operating under the same name and got different answers, one (whom I siding with) agreed that yes try and get it as close to 1 as possible, the other said, no it needs to be bottled or it will oxidize, 1010 wont give bottle bombs.
My plan is to warm it up a bit and give it a couple more days then cold crash for a few days to a week,is that too long to be in the fermenter? I dont have a secondary and have checked my hydrometer and it sits at 1 in tap water
