2 weeks ago I brewed a dopplebock with a 1.085 starting gravity and pitched a 1 gallon starter of wyeast 2206 at 60 degrees. I then immediately put the carboy into my chest freezer which was set at 48. The lager fermented at 50 for 6 days until I took a gravity reading and saw it was down to 1.035. I proceeded to raise the temp to 65 to finish up fermentation and d-rest. It has been at 65 for 5 days now and I took a gravity reading and it appears the beer is at 1.030 with no signs of fermentation.
I've never been one have a stalled ferment and i havnt had these issues with lagers in the past. I am thinking about putting it back into the freezer and setting it at 48-50 again to see if the yeast wants some colder temps again?
