Hydrometer Reading And No Bubbling

[shaunyp]

Hello all it will be a week on sunday when i started my virgin brew (Youngs Lager) what should be the hydrometer reading around now also as i have said before i had no bubbling in my airlock or no sign of foam in my hv but there does look like a bit of scum at the top of the fv (not at the bottom) Your advice is much appreciated as usual.

I imagine it would have started with a hydro reading at about 1040 ish so you will be looking around the 1005 for a finishing target :thumb:

i started a lager kit on saturday 1.045 but that was using an enhancer and its a bit cool out in the brew shed of a night but it has a good froth on the top and checked it today (Friday)and its down to 1.010 should be ready in a couple of days.
it would of been quicker if i had kept it warmer
