Thanks for the advise...It was stuck at 1020...I've given it a little stir and there seems to be a little movement...I will measure it again tonight to confirm.

This lager was my first ever brew...and it's really good...I was really suprised how good it tasted... I left a few bottles for about 3 months and it tasted even better...With a really nice head! If you brew it right you'll love it!

Hi, I have been brewing a coopers pilsner 20ltrs for about 5 days now, instead of the said 23ltrs and it seems to have stopped...its in the cupboard uner the stairs and have been no lower than 19°...usually I have seen brews go well over a week in the first fv before needing to be bottled...

Also If over-primed, what will this do to my beer? be just too fizzy? or turn it into a bitter wine? Is it better to just start again or go with it and see how it turns out?
