Hey, everyone; I have been having the same attenuation issue with two separate beers, and I was hoping to get some advice.
I am brewing two different double IPAs, one with an OG of 1.105, and the other at 1.090.
The first was a partial mash, with mash temp about 154, was fermented with a 1 gal starter of pacman, and left in the primary for just over 3 weeks. I then left it to dry hop for 2 weeks.
The second was mashed at 156, fermented with 2 packs of S-05 and left for 17 days, followed also by a 2 week dry hop.
Both of these beers' SG comes in at around 1.035 at the moment. My question is, are they done fermenting? If not, did I screw myself for racking so soon? Can I bottle them or do I have to repitch?
As an added bit of dramatic tension, one of them needs to be ready to drink by Jan 21st.
