After a bit of a scare last week, when I was told that my Pilsner should take 3 months to ferment, rather than the 2-3 weeks my progress was suggesting. Luckily, the good folks at The Brewers’ Den set me straight – Pilsners can take 3 months to brew, but not when they’re based on a kit, as mine is.
So we’ve been watching the gravity, started at 50, was down to 20 a week ago, then 16 on Sunday, 15 on Monday (missed yesterday due to…. life). We’re waiting for it to settle somehwere between 12 and 15, so any time now it will slow right down, and we’ll be bottling.
Just as a note: I’ve been tasting the stuff we take off for testing gravity, and its already tasting pretty nice. I can’t wait for this one to be bottled up, and to see its sparkly shiney face in the fridge.
