Fermenting #2: Coopers Gir Kesar (Mango Lager)

The Final SG of the coopers lager has now been at 1.010 for the last few days so today I added BOTH tins of mango. 1.7kg of mango pulp in total and gave it a good stir up.
The beer before adding the mango tastes fine, not like a Lager mind you, more Ale like. So at least I now know that my yeast bank is working okay.

So that's about 340g of extra fermentables added to the mix. It's gone a great colour, not sure how long to leave this fermenting now, but at least a week I expect.

Rechecked the current SG AFTER adding the mango pulp and the SG has gone up by 10 to 1.020 but i don't expect that will all be fermentable sugar. I'm guessing the final ABV to be around the 4.5% mark

Beer starting Original Gravity 1.038 + Mango Pulp at 0.010 = Combined Original Gravity: 1.048 giving a ABV of 4.99% less the unfermentable sugars.
