Specific Gravity levels
Hello,
New to beer making and first attempt. I am at the first stage is fermentation of a lager brew. It is now twelve days since I set up the wort and its temperature has sat at 20 degree throughout this period. However, for the last four days the SG of the wort has remained at a steady 1.008 and will not fall any further. The instructions that came with the kit say that the SG need to fall to 1.005 and remain at that level for two days before I can proceed to the second stage of fermentation. How critical is this level?
Does any one know what I am doing wrong?
Please help before I loss this batch of Christmas cheer.
