RonaldW Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I brewed the European Lager 9 February and my Starting original gravity appeared to be 1.020 but I know this is way too low. I did not add any extra ingredients. Can anyone assist me and give me close approximate OG of what it should be? And possibly what the FG should be approximately be? I haven't taken a reading yet so as not to disturb the brew yeast. It has been over 3 weeks in the primary (I don't use a secondary) and might get ready to bottle this weekend. Thanks in advance.

***** Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hey Ronald Most advice is on offer on the Brewing Blether forum, questions posted there receive way more responses that questions here. When you say you didn't add any extra ingredients do you mean you just used the kit and water, or you used the kit water and the amount of malt or sugar as recommended on the can? If you repost to Brewing Blether with the full recipe you will get the answer you are after. If it was just the kit topped up to 23l then you are looking at an OG of 1.023 and an ABV of 2.6% bottled. I don't think this would be too good, i.e very light in colour and thin in the mouth like water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just looked at the card for mine which was also done exactly as per the can (even used the BE2). OG was ~1035 FG was ~1010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lager yeast so you want to keep the temp down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb12 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This is one of my favourites. Last time I made it I had an FG of 1.010. Dry hopping with 25gms Hallertau makes it sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
