hi all I think I may need some help
on first day of brew by night time I had some movement in the airlock
on second day there was a lot of bubbles
but now there is no bubbles in airlock or on the brew itself
brew temp is 21c
it's a young's definitive larger
I think it may have died of
any help would be grate
thanks

Re: help
Have you checked the brew with a hydrometer? Airlock activity isn't the best method of keeping an eye on things

I doubt that it's a genuine low temperature lager yeast with a basic lager kit. More likely just a reliable dried generic beer yeast.BenB wrote:Lager yeast at 21 degrees? Might be interesting. It might have done it's thing. Try tasting it- see if it's dry or sweet? Residual sugars will be quite obvious.
Probably it's fine - if you don't have a hydrometer try taking a small sample and see if it tastes sweet.

Re: help
It depends on the yeast. Back in the Mar/Apr issue of Zymurgy I had a Last Drop piece published dealing with brewing without temperature control. I split a batch of pilsner three ways: one third was done with WLP830 at 22. It came out pretty good and scored a 36 in a competition as a blonde ale.BenB wrote:Lager yeast at 21 degrees?

I'm just here for the beer.

Re: help
1.010 sounds reassuring anyway.My opinion is always take readings and as someone who always used to say on here if your not sure,taste it.

Re: help
1.010 is ready for bottling gravity in 99% of cases.
the thing about airlocks is they are only an indicator, the co2 will find the easiest route out so a slight leak in the seal and you get no more glugs even tho the beer is fermenting happily..
happy supping
