Have done several batches of AG and now I have an issue. On 4-9-12 I put this recipe together....
11 lbs 2 row
8 oz crystal 80
8 oz carapils
2 oz special B
2 roasted barley
1.5 lbs honey (5 minutes left in boil)
1/2 oz northern brewer (60 min)
1 oz fuggles (5 min)
Will be doing 1 oz fuggles dry hop
Us 04 with a 1000 ml yeast starter
Post boil gravity reading 1.072
Fermented at 64-66 degrees F
As I was getting ready for dry hop addition ( my first time trying ) and I decided to take a gravity reading so I knew where I was at after 9 days fermenting. The fermentation was very vigorous and it is still very slowly going.
Here is where my problem is, I took a reading and it came out to 1.033 after 9 days and I really thought it was going to be lower than that. Should I rack to secondary and add more yeast or just let it be?
Any help would be appreciated......
