I made a hoppy amber/malty IPA on Jan 6 (11 days ago).
Here is the grain bill:
10lb Pale 2 row
1lb Crystal 40L
1lb Munich
8oz biscuit malt
8oz crystal 120L
8oz oats
2oz chocolate malt
hops schedule:
FWH 1oz Amarillo (10.8%)
60 min .25oz Warrior (16.7)
60 min .50oz Simcoe
10 min 1oz Cascade
10 min 1oz Amarillo
10 min 1oz Simcoe
0 min 1.0oz Simcoe
0 min 1.0oz Cascade
Mashed at 150-152 for 60 minutes
OG 1.072
Pitched 1 packet of S-04. Krausen within 12 hours.
Fermented at 60F degrees for 10 days. Fermentation was violent and rapid. Completed within 4-5 days.
I just checked the FG when I transferred to secondary, and was shocked to see 1.022. I was hoping this beer would have fermented to around 1.012-1.016.
The sample tastes good, but obviously a little sweet.
My question is: Is there anything I can do at this point to drop it down a few points? I'm thinking about getting a packet of US-05 and throwing it in the secondary just to see if it can nibble off a few digits.
Or, Should I move it to a warmer part of the house? Right now its in the laundry room at 56-60F. Might drop a little lower than that at night.
Thanks in advance!
