NTR,
How did your brew end up? Did the SG get below 1018? Mine has been at 1017 for a week at about 15 degrees. I will be bottling it this weekend. I don't think it is going to go any further.
I used, Kit + Coopers BE 1 + 500g Light DME.
Cheers
Steve
Coopers Bavarian Lager - didn't come with Saflager????
Mine didnt go further than 1.018
Bottled it on the 30th, put it back in the brewroom (rumpas room) for secondary then barely squeezed it all into the beer fridge up in the shed on the 7th. Seemed fine to me, no explosions thus far.
Cetainly no lagering space in the immediate future for the bock I was planning on doing, and the Carlton Cold clone im currently brewing for a friend of the family is going to have to lager in his beer fridge. Thus, my Bavarian Lager had better be good!

I'd be taking some SG readings to confirm it's finished. A week at 15C and still fermenting doesn't seem like it's beyond possibility.
In any case, a few days for the yeast to drop out is always a good idea.
Just some thoughts.
Cheers,
