On 10/14, I brewed an extract sweet stout kit from more beer. I was able to get an O.G. of 1.048, which according to there sheet its in the recommend range. I was only able to cool to 80° before pitching Safale 04. I did aerate the wort for 2 minutes with an oxygen tank. Fermentation, I would guess took off in about 12 hours. I did use a blow off tube. I fermented @ 68°
Today on 11/11, I checked the gravity for the first time. I was only able to get a reading of 1.021. Is the beer finished or do I need to kick-start the yeast again.
Recipe:
6lb light malt extract
1lb lactose
1lb black patent
12oz crystal 75L
2oz Cascade hops (bittering)
whirhfloc tablet ( which i totally forgot to add).
Also, do I need to cold crash this style of beer before I keg.
