WaynoW Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi BjarkeH, welcome to the forum So your first reading was 1034 (that's about right for the kit Lager) Was the 1009 reading taken on the second day?.. and the 1003 on the third day? I guess it could ferment quite quickly at a higher temp. A simple check for your Hydrometer is to test it in 20 deg C water and you should get a reading of 1000 What temp were you pitching then fermenting at?

BjarkeH Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 hi now i forgot one the first day SG was 1014 and then 1009 and now 1003 the temp is around 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaynoW Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 hi now i forgot one the first day SG was 1014 and then 1009 and now 1003 the temp is around 24 If this is this kit Lager that you get with Coopers DIY kit then its too low. It should start at roughly 1035 OG first day and the first 3 days are the most active. I would guess day 3 should be about 1015 SG and day 7 should be around 1008-1010 FG Are you using the Lager can and BE1 sugar that came with the kit? If so...... Do a hydrometer test!

Guest Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'd love another one Paul but I was pulling your chain, sorry to say. I was trying to blame the problem I had reaching FG months ago on the Hydrometer [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
