I am brewing a Midwest Supplies Oatmeal Stout kit. It is my first time
using my Son of Fermentation chiller. I live in central Florida and have
never been able to get fermentation temp in the correct range till now.
I pitched Wyeast 1084 9/3 and it took 72 hours for fermentation to
begin. Smack pack did not swell very much. Temps in chiller have averaged
about 63 dgrs. Tested 1.044 OG
I I transferred to secondary fermented 9/ 14. Tested at 1.018
Have not noticed any fermentation activity by lack of airlock
activity. As I suspected today 9/20 it is still at 1.018.
Looking for FG 1.010-1.012 per instructions.
I added a pack of Fermentis Safbrew S-33.
I have never had to do this before.
What should I expect?
How long before I test again?
Do you think this is due to lower temps?
