Hi guys/gals, I have searched a heap of the threads and could not find the answer so I wonder if anyone can provide some guidance.
Its my first pressure ferment so I started with a Mangrove Jack - Czech Pilsner tin, 1 x KG of Brew Enhancer #2, 1 x Packet of Saflager W34/70 (+yeast nutrients) and brewed the usual way in my plastic fermenter then transferred to my 23L Corny-Keg. Yeast was pitched at 23c, OG was 1.041. The Corny-Keg has a floating dip-tube and spunding valve set to ~10psi. Placed in the store room 16-18c and put under 10psi pressure.
24hrs later bubbles started, they started slowing after day 3, day 5 very little bubbles. I used my picnic tap to rack some off for a gravity reading and had very high pressure foam so let off the pressure in the keg so I could pour a sample, reading was 1.014 the next day there as very little bubbles again so I waited another day (now day 7 under 10psi) and gravity was again 1.014 but even today (day 10) there are still bubbles; 1 every 7 seconds.
Q; Has this finishes but it is just the residual gas in the wort (as the SG has not changed)?
Should I leave it longer until 0 bubbles or just cold crash and carb?
I would have expected the FG to be lower than 1.014, any thoughts on this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated as I want to get this dialled in before an all-grain attempt.
