any indication of airlock activity? did you taste it? (never used a wireless hydrometer: did it become stuck somehow, bubbles stuck to it may cause it to float, giving readings which are too high)

my guess then it just needs more time. as another commenter said it, likely around two weeks, perhaps 3?

checked my book: it says 4 weeks at 3°C, so maybe 1-2 weeks at 10 degrees. I’d just open a bottle after like 10 days to see where it’s at.

how much sugar ended up per bottle? my book says 6.5g/l for a light lager during secondary. also what are your temps?

wouldn’t use it as it is but use it as an adjunct when you brew a similar style. fresh malt has plenty of enzymes to convert the additional starches.

sorry didn’t check the original picture. mine has a drain. can’t remember where i bought it though. but it should be easy to install one. the metal is quite thin
