Ive got a 1.050 pilsener fermenting at 46F (I also pitched at 46F). I used one packet of S-23 (I didn't rehydrate). I mashed at 151F.
After one week it was down to 1.040, a week later down to 1.019.
I thought it would have gone lower by now so Ive brought it up to room temp for a few days.
What I'd like to know is :
Is my brew on track to drop (73%) to 1.012 - it seems slow ?
Is one pack enough in 5gallons of a 1.050 ?
Is 46F OK or too low for S-23?
Ive read S-23 can be hellavu fruity - how did you find it ?
Im hoping on a dry, clean finish.
