This is my third AG brew, and my first lager. (a Munich Helles)
I'm wondering if this looks good so far - the krausen took a day to get going and then built up nicely. But I was expecting it to drop down after 6-7 days. I'm used to Ale fermentation which is very easy to see when it is done working.
I haven't taken a reading since pitching. I wanted to leave it undisturbed as much as possible. I know looking at it is not very definitive, but was hoping some lager experts could advise - "leave it alone until krausen falls off" or "read it and decide".
This puppy will take about another 6 weeks before I can taste the final goods, so I am trying to be careful.
Any advice welcome!
Cheers
