5 day ago I have brewed up this Power Pack Porter with White Labs Burton Ale 023 yeast http://www.midwestsupplies.com/power-pack-porter.html
I was tempted to add a bit of honey flavor to it, so I added (per suggestions in this forum) 1lb of good quality honey. I was also looking for more ABV, so was told honey will help me with that.
My concerns are:
1. OG was 1.064 instead of 1.058 kit said it would be
2. I kept it at room temperature of 72F and the fermentation looks done today (no more airlock activity).
Should I add more yeast? I have a packet of additional dry yeast the kit came with, or should I just put it in secondary and leave it alone for 4 more weeks?
If I should just do secondary, should I leave in the 55F basement, or room temperature should be fine for this porter? I don't want to f this up.
