What temp and how long in primary? It is probably fine. Sounds pretty normal for S23 with enzyme lagering at a low temp.
Prost and happy brewing!

At those temps I'd leave it for a while. Specially with the enzyme.
Brewing @ 11C I usually leave mine 2 weeks in primary and another 2 weeks in secondary.

Cheers

hey man, ive got the same brew, but with improzyne 15mls in place of the enzyme, going in the shed at the moment. its been in the primary for 15 days on 10 degrees. im going to rack in a few days and probably bottle, depending on the readings, in a week or so, its slow. i did this beer before with a safale yeast and no enzyme and it tasted a hell of a lot better than the test tubes ive sampled, beginning not to like lagers. yours should be fine, just let it go till its not bubbling anymore. regards heathen

i have done couple of beers with a dry enzyme and i think the FG has ended up at about 1004 for one and 1002 for the other. from memory they were both in primary for over 21 days at 12C.

Even without the dry enzyme i dont think it would be ready to bottle after only 12 days at 11c. Have you taken a Gravity reading?

As hard as it can be sometimes, don't be tempted to bottle too soon.

cheers,
gav

I'd go ahead and bottle. Don't think it will get much lower.
