My First Lager - Quick Question

Post by J_P » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:44 pm

Afternoon all

Last week I brewed my first lager from scratch, it is currently sat at around 7-10C in a sealed fermenter in my coalshed. I used 2 11g sachets of Saflager-S23 pitched into 24l of cold 1048 wort I mashed at around 65C, my questions are as follows :-

How long do you reckon it would take to ferment out?

What sort of FG should I expect?

Cheers Again

John

It should finish around 1.012 or thereabouts and take 12-14 days getting there.
