OG 1.063 measured 11/8/15. Fermentation controlled in a mini fridge with Fermwrap heater and the probe attached to the outside of the bucket covered in paper towels (don't talk to me about middle of fermentation temps) for a week when it stopped activity. Gravity 11/13 was 1.032 so I swirled the carboy and let it go. I did a diacetyl rest 11/25 at 63F until 11/28 then went back down to 53F. The gravity is now at 1.024 which is just a little above 60% attenuation. I'm not sure what to do at this point since I don't want to oxygenate the beer swirling it again but I'm not sure if adding Fermaid K will help. I'm aiming for about 1.016 for this beer. I cant recall what the mash temps were but I believe there were lower 150s. Any advice would be helpful as to either race a 5% beer or help it somehow get to 6%.
