  It was AG, mash started at 154F and dropped 5 degrees over 90 minutes. I did wonder if my
  thermometer was off - but I checked and its calibrated correctly. So, I hit my mash temp.I
  turned the heat up ...

  Thanks for the tip - my next batch is a saison with 3724, so I should have some practice for
  that slow yeast. :)

  I'm at 78F right now, will try raising it further. Thanks for the tip!

  I'm debating pitching some 3711 to help it along. Or, possibly racking to secondary and washing
  the yeast, doing a starter and re-pitching the 3944. I haven't heard of anyone doing the
  second, but I c...

  So, I raised the temp and have been agitating the FV daily. In three days the SG has not budged
  from 1.020. Should I continue to be patient? Or, re pitch?

  Thanks for the info- thats what I figured.

  But, I want to free up the FV to use. :D Will it still keep dropping if I transfer to
  secondary? Or, better to leave on the yeast cake? Think I already know the answer to this
  one...just don't like it...

  Cool, thanks for the reply. So, can I rack it to secondary to finish up or should I leave it on
  the yeast cake in the primary. I normally don't do secondaries but need the FV. :)

  I brewed a Belgian Wit (3944) two weeks ago, OG 1.048. It started with a vigorous fermentation
  - I need a blowoff tube. Activity slowed down after 3 days, and I put in an air lock and raised
  the temp ...

  I researched this a bit, but saw conflicting answers. I have been force carbing a keg in the
  fridge for 2 weeks - its ready to go. But I need the fridge space to force keg another keg. I
  know what you...
