I am brewing the wonderful greatness of the Southern Star Bombshell Blonde Ale (Texas Local Beer).
Brewed this as a partial mash - checked OG in at 1.053 (Perfect - Spot On!) Color was perfect etc...
Anyhow - it has been in the primary for two weeks, airlock has ceased completely and the foam on the top of the wort has just fallen to the bottom - I do not plan to secondary this beer.
This is my superbowl beer folks. I have roughly two more weeks here.
Thieved about two cups today to take hydro readings and do a mid-term tasting. The FG should be 1.012 but checked in today at 1.017(ish) with my cheap hydrometer. Taste was good - but a slight sweetness that I can only assume is that there is still some fermentables in the beer...?
I know that this is still green and way early but this was supposed to be a fast beer and I am just a little concerned that this will not be ready if I don't take some actions.
Should I pitch more yeast at this point - could this do any good or could it screw up my progress? or will the remaining yeast complete the task at hand but at a much slower rate? I am leaning towards just leaving it because I have a feeling that things will be fine... but....superbowl man...superbowl...lots of people waiting on this batch!
