Hi All,
I am approaching day 4 of my first brew (23l), which is a Coopers Lager, with a German Lager enhancer and US50 yeastr, which has been fermeting in my cellar at around 19-20 deg.
When would be a good time to take my first hydrometer reading?
The Coopers instructions say after 3 days, then every day thereafter until the hydrometer readings stabelize.
Is it possible to over ferment your beer?
The reason i dont want to take too many readings is because the fermenter is quite snug in a water bath, ice and towels.
BTW.. i removed the Krausen collar and the beer smelt really good
Regards,
Robbie
