I'm still having trouble getting my Saison to drop the gravity down to where it's supposed to be. With a target F.G. of 1.016, it has been sitting at 1.050 for a few days.
I have e mailed White Labs, and their response was to try two things. First, transfer to another fermenter, to try to rouse the yeast. I only have one bucket and a couple of 5 gal. carboys, so I scraped the top and sides of the bucket and shook it, a LOT, trying to get some kind of action out of the remaining yeast.
The other option, according to White Labs, is to pitch another yeast, but it has to be very active.
Is it too late to pitch another yeast, considering that the gravity hasn't moved in a few days, even if it is in an active starter ?
