i brewing an amber lager.
the first call of hydrometer was 1.060
after 2 weeks at 10°c the hydrometer shows 1.030, and i set the temp. on 4°c.
now, after week and half the hydrometer still show 1.030.
i shaked it once a day for the last 3 days and i can see a lot of bubbles.
so, what i have to do?!
thanks a lot,
yoav.
 
Since lagers ferment at cooler temps,it's my understanding that you have to pitch more yeast to get it going normally.
 
If I read your post right: You started fermentation at 10°C (50°F) for two weeks. Then you dropped the temperature to 4°C (39°F). How much yeast did you pitch? You may have underpitched the yeast and then dropped the temperature so suddenly the yeast went dormant.
