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

another option could be buying a thermobehälter like this one https://www.metro.de/marktplatz/product/c7cabb7a-c128-4217-b248-43ac62542742

i use something like this for mashing and rests as these a very temp stable and cleaning is a breeze. never used it for fermentation though. but one could easily drill a hole through the lid for the fermentation lock.

i use aquarium heaters but never cared about the energy consumption. my experience is that since fermentation is exothermic they rarely kick in. especially with larger fermenters it's usually more important to prevent it from getting too hot. so maybe running larger batches might be something for you.

in Germany this is boomer humor when referring to beer: chilled hops' infusion

uh i didn't know that's cowboy coffee was the official name. i always thought that my dad came up with the name at some point that it has since stuck with the family. but yeah cowboy coffee it is. French press also makes great coffee
