Hello all,
Brewed a lactose ipa about 11 days ago.
Used:
11# marris
.25 # wheat malt
.5 # crystal 40
1# corn sugar
7.5 gallon boil
5.5 gallon batch
Mash went well. Used two packets of wlp 001. Fermented around 65 degress (had to warm it to get there). Gravity so far is about 5 points off (abv should be around 7 % but it is sitting at 6.1%). Activity has pretty much stopped. I didn't have any yeast nutrient and I have yet to obtain an airation system other than shaking the carboy prior to introducing the yeast. I know 001 likes to be around 68-70 degress.
My question is should I warm tge carboy slightly and rouse the yeast to get those extra points gone? Is it worth it?
Thanks for any and all info!!!
