Howdy.
So, my Bell's Two-Hearted Ale clone, fermented with bottle-harvested (and stepped-up) yeast, is a week in the fermenter. I took a gravity reading on Saturday when I dry-hopped it, and it was at 1.018. Bell's says their FG is 1.016 (and their OG is 1.060, which I hit).
I know it's only a week in the fermenter, but should I consider rousing the yeast if the gravity hasn't dropped further in the next week or so? Or is 1.018 close enough?
Thanks,
CB
