Hi All
Just want to check something before muck up my second brew.
Its a coopers lager kit brewed with the kit's yeast, been in the FV for 10 days and I've just transfered it into my pressure barrel without priming it with the intention of sticking it in the garage for a fortnight in a rough attempt at crash cooling before priming and bottling. Is the cold spell were having going to be so cold it'll kill off the yeast and I'll end up with flat beer?
Oh one unrelated question the hydrometer readings have been the same the last two time I took them but when I filled the trial tube using a tap in the FV there was a bit of head and visible bubbles in the sample shouldn't it be flat when fermenting is complete?
