Just did my first Lager and it has been in primary for about 25 days and still has not reached my anticipated FG(1.011). The problem is I got a little crazy with the boil and ended up boiling too much off. The anticipated OG was supposed to be 1.046, but ended up 1.056. Right now after a gravity reading it is at 1.016 and I think it tastes and looks great. No trace of diacetyl, clear, and just slightly yeasty.
I have potassium metabisulfate from when my dad used to make wine. I guess my question would be....Can I use this to stop fermentation? If so, How much?
Also, is it a good idea to do this? I just don't want the beer to drop down to the anticipated FG of 1.011. I think it will be too alcohol forward.
Thanks.
