My first brew has been down for about 7.5 days now and it's seems to have come to a halt fermentation wise. I have taken Gravity readings over 3 days with my Hydrometer (more on this instrument later) and it's stuck firm at 1010 each time.
A few notes to take into account.
1. My brew heater died on the 5th day causing it to drop from 21 to 18 degrees. I managed to get it back to 21 degs about 24 hours later with a new heater.
2. I accidentally dropped my hydrometer, but it didn't break and appears to be fine and still bobs around in the sample. Could the calibration be off somehow?
3. It's just a standard lager kit (with ale yeast I think).
Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers (& beers)
