Hello All,
I brewed an IPA on 19th of this month, OG 1060, used good amount of yeast (BRY-97) and lots of dry hop. It was fermented in a corny keg (64F). I brew 1,5 galons only, so my fermentations are pretty fast (my record is lager in 3 days at 54F not using pressure, only airlock)
At day 4 I added the last DH, SG was 1030 (tilt measurement). After 48h I closed transfer the beer to another corny keg. SG was 1022. FG expected is 1020 according to BS but considering the DH I would expect less due to hop creep, so let's say, 1018-1016. I attached a spunding valve (first time spunding) to the corny keg and started to monitor the pressure.
Today I'm at day 4 of spunding. Pressure is increasing day by day (8 psi today). I guess this tail attenuation should take longer than I'm used because most of the yeast was left behind in the transfer but I'm starting to get very anxious!!!! (If not spunding I would be drinking my beer right now )
Does anybody have experience in spunding and can tell me if Is it normal to take this (forever) time (4days +) to attenuate (4-6 points) after the transfer?
More info: yeasterday I took I little sample an it's not infected. Unfortunately I forgot to measure the FG (planning to do that this today).
