Ok, so last saturday i brewed my Munich Dunkle. Everything went off with out a hitch and i acheived a higher than expected Eff. Pitched a starter and 3 hours later had about a bubble per 10 seconds and 8 hour later 2 every second.
After 5 days a vigorous fermentation it started to slow and now, day seven has stopped all together.
My questions is being a lager, do i let it sit on the yeast cake for another 7 days to allow the yeast to clear the liquid of acetaldehyde, the green apple taste? or has it already happened?
This is my second attempt at a lager, the first did not go to well (infection). Not only that but this brew will be entered into a local contest 2 months from now.
thanks
