Regarding my first all grain recipe and my first lager:
I didn't hit the efficiency I was hoping for during the mash, and the OG fell a bit short of what I wanted. The beer fermented for about 2.5 weeks at 50F, then 3 days at 68F, and has since been at 40F for about 4 weeks. Its at about 4.5%, which is just flat out way too low.
My question: Can I bring it back up to about 50F and add some dry extract (dissolved and boiled and cooled, of course) and let it ferment again? Would that undo the 4 weeks of lagering that I've done?
