I started my first brew a week ago (cooper's lager) and don't know what to do now. My brew has been in a plastic pail this whole time with the lid on but not sealed to allow gas escape. Instructions from my homebrew supplier say trasfer to secondary in the glass carboy after 3-4 days but there was still a thick krausen even after 5. As a beginner, should i just leave it in the pail for another week and then bottle? If so, what should I do about the lid since there is no place for an airlock?
