hi guys, thats my coopers heritage lager been in the fv for 11 days now, with the hydrometer readings being the same now for two days. its been at a constant 11oc to 13oc and i used a proper lager yeast( mangrove jacks bohiemian ). my question is 11 days seems quite short for a lager due to all ive read, and i was thinkin to leave it another 4 days anyway till my next day off to bottle it but can fermentation already be done ? i thought it would be a three week affair. cheers for any help guys
lager fermentation, this seemed quick

if its stuck just give it a stir with something sterile and slightly increase temperature it may start it off again
+1, although lagers generally drop lower than ale in my experience, in fact my Cooper European has just finished at 1.007 after 27 days in the FV at 13C. It stopped bubbling a few days ago.
