Its been a week since I pitched the yeast for my Oktoberfest and airlock activity has slowed to a crawl. I decided to take a hydrometer measurement and taste test.
OG: 1.068
Gravity 1 week in: 1.024
When I tasted it it tasted very very sweet but did not detect any butteryness. I pitched the yeast at wort temps ~53F.
I plan on waiting a month in the primary and then rack to the secondary for 2 months.
Will the gravity continue to go down and why is the beer super sweet? Should I be concerned with a diacetyl rest?
