Hi All
Coopers lager
Coopers brewing sugar (trying it instead of my usual white sugar)
SG was 1041 to start
original yeast was the one that came with the lager (an ale yeast? from what i have read on this forum)
Second yeast was from the Coopers Mexican cervenza
I have a brew in my fermenter, its been down a week to ten days, there has been no action from the airlock, and there is no beery smell around the fermenter.
After the first four days I threw a second sachet of yeast in, and closed it up again, again no bubbling, but there is a very very very faint whiff of beer around the fermenter (so slight that i am not sure I'm not imagining it)
I took the SG today and yesterday it was 1012 yesterday and 1011 today
does this mean it is actually working? it smells nice and a bit sweet (the sample i took from the tap) I am planning to leave it for a few more days
When i squeeze the barrel the airlock bubbles which confuses me a bit as if there was a leak it shouldn't, should it
I also read the thread here of Olivers

So i am feeling a little more confident that its not completely buggered. but does that sound OK?
