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

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,

thing is im brewing this in a friends fermenter, papazian and palmer should note in their bibles that its a sin to brew for other people using dry enzyme for the first time or anything else for that matter
NB. at rack SG was 1002

and the temps have risen today

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