So I brewed up an IPA with whatever ingredients I had on hand in the midst of Hurricane Sandy, so I dubbed the batch "Hurricane IPA". I used the safbrew S-33 dry yeast. The gravity reading came in at 1.018-1.019 today after 3 weeks in the primary. Also, I added the 8oz of dextrose after exactly 1 week in primary, so it had 2 weeks to ferment that out. Now, I am looking to dry-hop this bad boy and get it in the keg as soon as possible so I am just wondering if this is too high of a FG to start dry-hopping and then racking. I have read that S-33 doesnt attenuate as much as say US-05 or even the S-04 so I know a higher FG is expected, I am just trying to avoid having a cloyingly sweet, under-attenuated IPA. Here is the recipe in case it is needed.
