I have a Sweet stout in the fermenter for 10 days now
The OG was 1.067 and should finish out at 1.020 according to Beer Tools.
Right now its at 1.029 But there is 2ldb lactose for the 11gal batch and I dont think that beer tools is compensating for that.
Will my gravity reading go down any more or should I rack to a secondary?
 
If you subtract out the 9 points for the lactose, you're done. I'd check it again in three days.
 
Thats 4.5 points per pound of lactose right? I can wait 3 days thanks
