Hi all, I'm after some help with my first Lager.
I did a boil up of 3kg of DME, some specialty grains and hops.
Got it down to about 20C and pitched 2 packets of rehydrated saflager w-34/70.
Put it in the beer fridge set to it's highest temp (keeps it at around 10C-12C) which I think is OK.
The OG was 1.060 and the airlock started bubbling within 24 hrs.
It's been a week now and airlock is only bubbling every 60 seconds or so.
Took another gravity reading and it's on about 1.012...not sure what to expect the final gravity to be.
I expected the lager yeast to ferment a bit slower than this, and now I'm wondering when I should rack it to the secondary.
Would it be OK to rack it now, or should I give it the std 2 weeks?
And what about diacetyl resting??
Any help would be appreciated.
