Good afternoon everyone.
Could anyone offer any advice/guidance on my first attempt at brewing lager at home. I have followed the instructions to the letter so far, but the issue i currently have is that the hydrometer reading for the second day in a row is reading 1.12.
The brew has seemed to have finished fermenting after 6 days so i thought i'd take a reading as per the instructions to see if its ready for the bottling process and its not at the required level on the hyrdrometer.
Is there anything else i can do to ensure it reaches its 1.00 - 1.06 reading or do i just have to wait a little longer?
My thoughts are to add more yeast but im not sure without asking proper advice from those that are in the know, and does the first batch need to be transferred over to another clean fermenting bucket (as you do with wine making)?
Thanks in advance
Craig
