Hey folks,
I tried my first lager today. I brew 10 gallons and then keg.
Here's the recipe I went with
1 lb. Cara/Pils at 150 degrees F for 30 min
18 lbs. of Extra Light DME for 60 min
Hops went
3 oz Saaz at 60 min
2 oz Saaz at 15 min
1 tsp Yeast additive at 10 min
2 oz Saaz at 1 min
I cooled it, put it in 2 separate Carboys
(for the record I like to try 2 different types of yeast, one was czech pils 2278 and the other is Barvarian 2206)
I took a SG and it read 1088! Is this even possible? Not sure if this matters, but i filled my tube and set it aside (there was a lot of sediment at the bottom) for about 40 minutes or so as i was filling the carboys, not sure if that can throw off the readings.
Any thoughts on that SG?
Thanks in advance!
