Hmm. Unlike previously, this morning at 3 1/2 days (84th hour), the1469 barm is still going quite strong, after a good harvesting last night. OG of 1.051 to 1.014 as of last night, and I am ramping down from 68 first to 63 over 2 days, then on to 50 over another couple of for a few days before crashing (oatmeal stout) (dependent on FG or attenuation movement, of course).
Haven't take a gravity this morning as I want to let it ride for a few. Nevertheless, given the continuing barm, would you rouse today (and as long as it's actively fermenting), or, as with protocols shown by Timothy Taylor and Black Sheep (thanks to members @Northern_Brewer and @McKnuckle , if memory serves), call it as of last night ("rouse through the 3rd day")?
Edit: Nevermind. FG = 1.009, at least enough to continue slow cool down to 50 over 36 hours or so. In the future I think I will be guided by the head and the fermentation, indeterminate of time. This was suggested by @cire.
