2 weeks into fermentation on a batch of Yoopers Dead Guy clone (AG) and I still have airlock activity which sort of surprised me to be honest. I'm not necessarily looking a gift horse in the mouth but it got me thinking...do any of you that tend to do long primaries ever check sg at 2 weeks just to make sure you're not already at your expected fg? I mean is there such a thing as preventative maintenance against potential over attenuation?
I ask this mainly because Beersmith recommended 2 pks S-05 dry pitch and that's the first time I've added 2 pks of that yeast. It tends to get right after it in my experience so I have this nagging thought of overdoing it.
And if anyone has ever done this, would moving to cold crash stop the process if I've already reached or exceeded the target fg? Would there be any downside to force stopping it in that instance?
