Recently made the Brewers Best Milk Stout Extract kit. I used Wyeast 1056 (I think, didn't take good notes that night ;-(. After about 3 weeks fermenting in the mid 60's I checked FG and it was 1.030 vs. the desired 1.020 - 1.024, my OG was right on. I tried swirling up the bucket and bringing the temp in my ferm chamber (deep freeze with a controller) up to 72 for a week. It dropped to about 1.028. Really wanted to get it down a little more since this beer is already sweet with the lactose. I know it's supposed to be sweet but i was afraid it would be too much .004-.008 from the target. So... on Sunday 9/30/12 I sprinkled a pack of S-05 in my primary.
Wondering if this was a good/bad idea? What will be the good/bad effects? I am hoping this will drop my FG down to a better level without adding or changing the taste in a bad way?
