Hi all.
Just another question on my road to mastering my beer making... I hope.
I have just been brewing my first lager, a Bohemian Pilsner style.
And I have been following a brewing method I found from Brulosophy which I know people would be aware of for a quicker Lagering approach.
It has been fermenting for a few weeks on recommended temp 12C for around a week and then a higher 19C temp for another week.
Gravity has reached 1008 which is what the recipe said it would when finished and its been stable at that for a few days.
I am now ready to chill to hopefully clear beer to bottle in a week or less hopefully.
I just had a peek inside carefully and was amazed at how foamy the top of the beer is still. It looks healthy and smell delicious.. but was amazed at the amount of Krausen
still there after a few weeks.
I did read it might be the lager yeast has it does this during fermentation. As I said I haven't used it before.
Will crash chilling clear this or should I wait longer?
I have attached picture hopefully showing how it looks.
The yeast was White Labs WLP800. pilsner Yeast.
Does it look ok to everyone. As when I done Ales it didnt look this active.
Cheers.
