Hi all first time poster here!
I recently purchased a grainfather and carried out my first ever brewing experience, I sanitised like crazy followed all the rules and have the beer/wort sat in a plastic fermenting bucket in the fridge sat at 19.5c, it’s a Belgian Dubbel and the recipe calls for 10 days primary fermentation.
I am now on day 10, I have a blow off tube instead of an airlock and the bubbles have subsided quite dramatically, I have taken a hydrometer reading today and it is sat at 1013 which is (according to the recipe/instruction) the target FG. My plan is to rack it into bottles to carbonate and condition.
so having reached my FG the Krausen is still a good 3-4 inches deep and doesn’t seem to be falling away.
my question is.. how long should I now wait for the Krausen to drop/crash? if it does not drop how do I remove it/rack into bottles?
thanks in advance, I’ve learned so much from these forums and I look forward to taking part in the future
