Hi guys,
A quick question so I'm currently brewing a lager with Saflager S-23 yeast. And online the usually say to leave it for 3 weeks easy, to finish fermenting. But the thing is, mine's been in the bucket for a little over a week and it's already stopped bubbling. It was bubbling like crazy last week but by now I don't hear much activity.
Question is, if the bubbling is a sign to go by (which I assume it is), should I consider the fermentation done?
But I still want to dry-hop it before I lager it. Will the beer be fine if it's just sitting on top of the yeast even if it doesn't really bubble anymore? Or is that bad? Is it going to take on some nasty yeasty flavours?
Any helpful insight would be so much appreciated!
Thanks!
