Hey there,
1st time brewer, there is SOOO much info here its actually hard to find what i'm looking for so i figured i'll ask.
Its day 7 in primary, was planning to rack to secondary tomorrow as the instruction say. Not sure if its done fermenting though, or if it is the gravity is too high.
Its been steady at 1.015 for 3 days now (stared at 1.045), i think it should be down to 1.008. There were only visible signs of fermentation the 1st 2 days with bubbling, quiet ever since. 1 thing that i think i might be misreading is this, i have a small sample in a bottle, and thats what i'm using for measurements, not opening up the bucket, so maybe the gravity in the bucket is right where its suppose to be. Anyone have any comments on that? Anyway, since the gravity is too high i figured i needed to start up the fermentation again.
Read a bunch of posts here that you can do that by raising the temp. It was in the 65-75 range in the closet, i put it in a tub with hot water. It stated bubbling again. Now i did not pay as much attention to it as i should have and let it get over 81, now its not dead again. Will take another reading tomorrow.
So wondering what i should do next.
If its still high and not changing? Should i try to add more yeast?
