Okay, so I have 5 gallons of RIS OG= 1.095, current SG=1.030. Fermentation has stalled and I haven't been able to get it going again. My solution, which I'd like opinions on, is this:
Dissolve 3lbs of DME into a gallon of water and steep some chocolate malt, aerate that with oxygen and add some wlp090 (the San Diego super yeast). After a couple of hours once the yeast have absorbed some of the o2, adding that all into the RIS.
I mashed at 152 for 2 hours, maybe 4 by the time I got the wort over 168 to stop conversion. So I think there should be enough fermentables to get down to around 1.020, so the 10 points of gravity (to go from 1.030 to 1.020) over the 5 gallons now, plus the 120 points over the one gallon additional, means I should pitch around 170 billion cells.
Does all of that seem correct? Any suggestions? Changes? Experiences?
