Fat Squirel Brown Ale Clone. Starting gravity was 1.051. Safale US-04. I was foolhardy and racked to the keg too early. I'm out of brew on tap so I was hasty to get this ready for quaffing. Beer was in primary for 14 days. I assumed it was done. I had racked half the beer when I took a gravity reading and I'm at 1.018/1.019. What nonsense I have caused!
I've left the keg at room temp (68-69 in the basement). I was considering dry hopping it with an oz in a set of used/sanitized hose right int he keg. Now,I'm not sure if there are going to be enough yeast to finish the duties. I realized if I add more yeast the dry hopping will probably be a waste.
I'm hoping for a FG of 1.013 or 1.012. I see a couple of options:
1) Do Nothing,...... and prey.
2) Rack to a glass carboy and pitch some dry yeast - then prey
Lesson learned. More gravity readings. More patience. Minimum 3 weeks in primary (with the possible exception of hefeweizens). Thanks for any advice you can provide!
