I brewed the attached recipe . The good news in this story is that I believe my efficiency is very good. At least that’s what I’m surmising from my OG. Recipe lists the OG as 1.058, but mine was 1.072 using a hydrometer.
My problem is that the fermentation started strong and vigorous, but lasted only a day. All my previous brews were three days before the fermentation stopped producing much CO2. I figured something was up so I took a reading. After letting sample degas for several hours and temperature rise to 70°, the gravity was 1.020.
I will check again two days after the first reading to see if the gravity is holding steady. If the gravity hasn’t changed, should I mix up a starter to get the last 6 points, or just let it be?
