Hello all,
Well, here is another one of those "i'm new to this" posts! I am in the process of brewing my second batch and it has now been in the fermenter for 2 weeks and i am getting an SG reading of 1016 off a start of 1049 - based on my first batch i would say this will need another week. I am using one of the pub draught kits from my local brew shop. The first batch i made was a Munich Lager that was in the fermenter for just over 3 weeks.
My question is, is it normal for the brews to be in for about 3 weeks in a fermenter? When you read the instructions, and looking at some people's posts, it seems more normal for them to be in for about 10 days so i'm just checking if i'm doing everything correctly. I also do use a heat pad so i keep the temperature around the 20 degree mark as it is in a cool part of the house.
Any feedback would be great.
Cheers,
Hazwald
