HI,
I brewed a stout recipe as follows
7# DME
couple # of specialty grains
hops
I failed to notice that the final volume in the fermenter should have been 5.5 gal and I only topped off to 5 gal. Fine no big deal.
My OG was 1.079 as opposed to 1.070 target if 5.5 gals used. Now, after about 9 days, my gravity is 1.024, and has held there for 2 1/2 days. This gives me an attenuation of about 70%.
Am I done or should I do something to fire the yeast up again? I just don't want to bottle too early.
Thanks,
Lakedawgs
