Hey everyone. I have a black IPA that is making my life interesting.

I pitched Wyeast 1332 (northwest ale) at 66 degrees on Feb 22. fermentation was good for about a week and then slowed right down and the Krausen took forever to drop. OG was 1.060 and my reading today is 1.020. Should I consider it finished and move on to dry hopping?

Extract recipe? If so its probably done. Most of mine have stopped around 1.020 that's why I've switched to BIAB

You're sitting at 66% apparent attenuation which is right at the bottom end of that strain. https://www.wyeastlab.com/rw_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=139

Probably done at that FG, but you could crank it up to 70 deg to possibly squeeze out a couple points. Buuuut if it tastes good and you're force carbonating in a keg...you could drop in the hops now.

Yeah its an extract recipe. It tastes good, I'll transfer and dry hop and see what happens
