Hi All, im new to this forum and have done quite a bit of reading over the past few weeks on your forum! What a great wealth of knowledge!!
Anyway, I'm (cold) fermenting by first brew, which is a Coopers Lager Kit, Used Saflager S23 yeast sachet and Brewmaster #15 DME Packet with 23L water.
It has been fermenting for just over 3 weeks now at 9-10deg C in my little brew fridge. Unfortunately in my excitement i didn't do a OG reading with my hydrometer but i have taken FG readings the last 3 days and it is stuck at 1014 and has a light carbonation when i fill up the test tube.
Im assuming that it might still be fermenting and impatience might be getting the better of me, but i would just like to know if you great people know if its done as i've had a stable FG reading, or should i leave it longer, or add more yeast perhaps to finish off the remaining sugars and get it somewhere near 1008???
Hope it all makes sense, seems the more research i do to try and make "the perfect beer" the more i get confused! But I'm loving my new hobby and look forward to contributing in the future when i gain some experience!!
