what is the reading on your hydrometer

 

[robsan77]

whats the room temp and what yeast did you use?

 

[robsan77]

:rofl:

the larger i done is hambleton bard kit the room temp im not sure but the hydrometer is 1-030

probably needs to go down 10 - 20 points it should be ok to bottle at 1010 or 1000 just be patient it just takes time :


ps its lager not larger

 

[welshgaz]

cheers for that

Could you move it somewhere a bit warmer? That has taken a ridiculous amount of time to get nowhere. True lagers are fermented cold, but kit lagers usually come with ale yeasts which like to be kept around 20°C, give or take a bit.

i could try and find somewhere to put it

Sounds to me like its stuck - give it a stir and get it somewhere warm - if it stays at 1030 for a couple of days pitch some more yeast - otherwise you risk it going off.
