I brewed my first Pilsner after years of ales. I do enjoy a good pilsner on a hot summer day after working.
It's Bohemian style, 1.050 OG brewed on 4/5. It's been at 54* with a little fluctuation but not much. Today the airlock action stopped pretty much dead and there is still a white foam, what looks like krausen on the top. I pretty much never pull samples for readings as I let brews sit for at least a week on the yeast cake to clean up.
Is this a normal thing with a Pils? If it is I'll let it go and keg is soon for lager. If not I'll risk contamination and pull a sample and take a reading.
