Geordie lager

Post by stevenm » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:47 pm

I have currently got this fermenting and has been now for 5 days. There is little sign of the froth going away.Do i have to wait for all of this to clear or if i get a settled hydrometer reading for a few days can i just bottle?
My first few brews were the young lagers and they settled very quicky.
Thanks :?

I am only a beginner myself but, I left my Geordie Lager for around 10 days. I used beer enhancer and bottled it after reading 1010 for 3 days in a row. However after a week there was no froth at all. It seems to have turned out fine.

im new to home brewing too so take from it what you will
i didnt bother with the youngs lager but have done two lots of geordie lager it being drinkable but not great.
my mistakes were i think
1- lifting the lid on fv too often
2- buying cheapest kits ( just brewed a coopers larger from wilkos for two quid more than geordie larger and tastes 10 times better)
3- being too greedy and drinking my larger too soon
i would give it atleast a week in fv it i cant see the point in risking taking out too soon
