Brought out my pilsner to rack to secondary

Mustangfreak · Jul 23, 2010

And I noticed that the air lock was moving. I guess the warm temp woke the yeast back up and they started getting back to work.

I left the primnary in the keezer for 10 days at 55*.

Should I put it back in the keezer, or let it finish at room temp (75-78) or rack to secondary?

Too little info to venture a guess.

Probably just due to moving, What is the gravity?

Did you taste it?

Does it need a diacetyl rest?

Let it finish at room temp.

CO2 that was dissolved in the beer at cooler temperature is offgasing at the warmer temperature. Rack and lager away.

airlock could be moving because the outside air pressure could have lowered.

hydrometer is the only measure of fermentation.

I don't know where my hydro is.

Hmmm, the bubbles look like the same bubbles during fermentation of apflewein.

And while it was in the keezer I was checking in on signs of fermentation, and I always herd the bubbles coming out of the blow off tub.

I only used it on my first batch. Guess I should get another and start using it from now on. :cross:

get a hydrometer

COLObrewer · Jul 23, 2010

Without any "real" information, I would say let rest at room temp 3-4 days, then lager around 45ish for 2-3 weeks, etc. Lost your hydrometer, sheesh, i bet you like mustangs too, so dissapointing . . . . .

Keep on brewing my friends :mug:
