Hi guys, brewed my first lager 10 days ago, everything seemed to go well.
Yeast is White Labs Pilsner, OG was 1.054 as per recipe. I pitched at 70, cooled to 52 and left it there until yesterday (9 days in), when I increased to 54.
I made a starter but that was most likely not big enough, one vile, 1.2 liters, 30 hours at room temp for 10 gallon batch. That said, fermentation had started the day after brew, lots of bubbles and thick kraussen.
I checked gravity on day 8 and it was at 1.040, checked again today (day 10) and it is at 1.039. I still have lots of kraussen, cant observer much (or any) airlock activity however.
Question is, should I just let it ride for another week? Or re-pitch now? Or increase temp more?
Thanks
