BarryS2 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi! just started my first European lager. It has been sat at a constant 23 degrees for 2\xbd days but there doesn`t seem to be any movement fermenting wise? Can anyone help? Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearnage Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi Barry. You can find advice on 'Is my brew fermenting' in the FAQ's: Is my brew fermenting? Also, the yeast that comes with the Euro Lager is a true lager yeast. As per the instructions, you should brew it at 15 degrees or a bit lower. If you brew it at Ale temps like 23 deg the result could be poor. You can read a bit more about brewing with the Euro lager here: Green Neck Lager Good luck with it Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtownClown Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wow! A lot of Lager queries of late! Are they coming from our Northern Hemisphere mates? Too warm down here unless you are lucky enough to have a fermentation fridge. That kit's yeast is a slow fermenter. I would drop the temp to as close as 15C as you can. take an SG, wait a few days and take another to see if the yeast is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would even try and go lower to more like 12C but then I have never brewed with lager yeast and only going on what I have read. I have enough trouble keeping my fermenter at 20C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
