Let me know what you find. I am also interested as I love this beer. Dave

No starter but I followed the directions on the yeast. Can I add the nutrient to the carboy? What should I expect it to drop to? The air lock on the carboy is back up so there is still a little action taking place. Maybe it will drop to below a 1.020 still. Dave

I just moved my java stout from primary to my carboy after 1.5 weeks and my FG seems to be a little high. The problem is the recipe I have doesn't say what it should be. My OG was 1.068 and my FG is 1.024 when moving to my secondary. Here is the recipe... .5 lb Flaked Barley 1 lb Briess...
