If experience is learning from mistakes I have a little more experience.
I have a lager going (Munich Dunkle) that started with a 1.050 OG and now is at 1.103. I put it in the fermenter at about 60F until I saw some activity which I anticipated being bubbles. Well 3 days later no bubbles so I checked the gravity tonight and it was 1.013. Needless to say there has been some activity. It was WLP 838. The flavor is not bad in fact it is good for this point. Brew day went fine and we hit all our marks and I figured brewhouse efficiency at 74.9%.
My question is what can I expect from this point on. I dropped the temp to 50F just in case it has a little way to go. Should I just go ahead in rack it and lager it? What can I expect for a final flavor? This was going to be Christmas gifts and since we still have time should we just try it again?
Thanks.
