Is it possible to pitch MORE yeast after primary fermentation is done?
I appear to have under pitched. After nearly two weeks of primary fermentation, it doesn't appear I have made much progress. Alcohol content is at about 3%, and I'm worried I won't get much carbonation. (note: initial fermentation seemed to stop after just a few days...definitely no more than a week).
Initial gravity was 1.058 (or thereabouts) checking today I was at 1.024. According to the online pitching calculator (which I learned about after the fact, of course) I should have used three vials of yeast, and I used only one.
If I were to now add two more and let it ferment, would that help resolve my issue(s).
Note: I'm brewing with a lager yeast, fermenting at 65-66 degrees.
