Tomorrow will have been 4 weeks since I had brewed a Mai Bock. My intent was tomorrow - to rack the Mai Bock from my carboy into a keg for lagering and then brew a traditional bock and just use the Mai Bock yeast cake. The problem, however, is that I took a gravity reading last night and it was only at 1.028 (recipe called for FG of 1.017).
Do you see any issue with racking the Mai Bock to a secondary carboy to continue fermentation so that I can still brew tomorrow and use the Mai Bock cake? Do you think there will still be enough yeast in suspension to finish the fermentation process? Or am I asking for trouble by not letting it finish out completely in that primary fermentation vessel?
Any ideas/suggestions?
