Hi-I brewed a bohemian pils 10 days ago and pitched the appropriate starter and at the correct temp-48 degrees.
I oxygenated and noted airlock activity in 6 hours. The fermentation has been steady but has recently dropped off to about 1 bubble every 30 seconds in s airlock.
i was a little low on my mash temp so I expect more fermentability but it should be close. OG was 1.045 and gravity now sits just above 1.010. So the OG was a tad low. I used the bohem pils recipe from brewing classic styles.
I recently implemented a sump pump to cool the wort to pitching temps (through the counterflow) and thought this beer would be great as almost everything went right.
the question is I took a gravity sample and tasted it and I have a slight-very slight fruitish aroma and an acidic/tart taste.
is this something normal or is something wrong? I know it is early but this was meant to be the one. I also fermented on most of the hot and cold break-is this the reason?
thanks
