As i have just started making my own brew etc i believe i have all the items/tools i require to get going.
I am starting a lager brew on sunday "brew buddy lager" and i will be making it in my shed.
I have been making a log of the temperatures within the shed over the last week at 6am,12am,6pm & 10 pm & temps are between 8 - 15 degrees min - max.
As it will be made in the shed which will be cooler than in the house i have read on hear about the Saflager S23 Yeast.
I have bought some of this yeast as it works well at 11 - 15 degrees i have been told.
My question is the yeast in the original kit quotes 4 - 6 days in the fermentation bin but as i am using this saflager yeast what is the duration in the bin ???
Is it just a matter of taking sg readings after x amount of days or what ?
The kit does not mention anything about the final sg to give me any help like the cider i have just made which read 998 or less is safe to move to the pressure barrell.
Thanks.
