So I made the following recipe...
Summer Citrus Wheat
6-D American Wheat or Rye Beer
Size: 5.5 gal
Efficiency: 75.0%
Attenuation: 75.0%
Calories: 300.69 kcal per 22.0 fl oz
Original Gravity: 1.049 (1.040 - 1.055)
|=================#==============|
Terminal Gravity: 1.012 (1.008 - 1.013)
|=====================#==========|
Color: 4.07 (3.0 - 6.0)
|=============#==================|
Alcohol: 4.85% (4.0% - 5.5%)
|=================#==============|
Bitterness: 19.0 (15.0 - 30.0)
|============#===================|
Ingredients:
0.55 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 60.0 min
0.55 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
1.0 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 5.0 min
1.0 lb Rice Hulls
6.0 lb White Wheat Malt
4.0 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US
1.0 oz Orange Peel, Bitter - added during boil, boiled 5.0 min
1.0 oz Orange Peel, Sweet - added during boil, boiled 5.0 min
1.0 ea Wyeast Labs 1010 American Wheat Ale
My OG was 1.048. When I went to switch to a secondary about 2 weeks after primary my SG was about 1.028. I can't remember... I didn't right it down because I was mad.
I bought all of the ingredients and brewing go delayed... by a couple of months.... I made a starter and it didn't seem to have much yeast floating around, but I used it anyway.
Do you think I would be able to just add a new smack pack and save the beer? I tried stirring it when I was going to rack it and nothing happened. I keep the beer in my basement but the temps don't fall too low. At least when I have checked them. Maybe over nights it gets too cold?
I have brewed this recipe before without any problems. I also haven't changed anything in the way I brew. The only variable was the older yeast. Any help would be appreciated.
