  I read that plastic fermenters let air in after a period of time. My lager is still fermenting
  after about 2 weeks and still has about 10 hydrometer points to go and I'm starting to worry
  about the be...

  I'm brewing a lager at about 50F (10C). My OG was 1.050 and its been about 11 days since it
  started fermenting and its been stuck on 1.023 for like 3 days now. I'm assuming its stuck.
  what should I do...

• Posted in thread: Pitched yeast at too high temp? on 01-22-2008 at 12:15 AM
  I've just started brewing a lager with saflager S-23 yeast. I've set the fridge to ferment it
  at 50F (10C) but I realised I pitched the yeast at 90F (32C)! The fridge will take a while to
  cool it down...

  I just tasted my japanese lager after 2 weeks in the bottle and I seriously cant drink it. It
  tastes like paint thinner or vodka or something. It's only 7% alcohol. It wouldnt make it taste
  that bad w...

  If it was a little warmer than proper lager temperatures then you'd have a steam beer or
  california common beer. On the cold side though, it depends how cold. Most lager yeasts can go
  down to about 8 ...

• Posted in thread: How long for dry hop? on 10-13-2006 at 06:49 AM
  Just racked my lager to secondary before and chucked in some hops with it. Then I had a
  thought. Is it bad if I leave the hops in there for too long? The hops aren't in a bag so I
  cant get them out an...

  The powder is difficult to use for small batches of wine or beer. This is because it inhibits
  the action of all yeasts; wine yeasts are just more resistant than other microorganisms. If too
  much potas...

  And the bubbling every 20 seconds is normal. Because of the cold temperatures it's still going
  to ferment but REALLY slow. The kraeusen takes a few days to form aswell. So there's nothing to
  worry abo...

  I'm just trying to let off a bit of steam here.I am lagering my Dutch Premium and my bottles

• Posted in thread: Priming on 09-20-2006 at 11:07 PM
  Does priming with sugar add much more alcohol to the beer. My lager at the moment is up to 7.2%
  and I think that's all I want for now. I don't really want it to go higher. I'm worried that
  priming the...
