Awesome, thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely signing up

Can I cause the yeast to reactivate, or cause it to ferment even more by stirring up my carboy? If so, should I do this and what is the preferred method?

Can I cause the yeast to reactivate, out ferment even more by stirring up my carboy? Of so, should I do this?

Thanks again to you all. This has been very educational as well as helpful. Tomorrow I will take a gravity reading to see where I'm at. I'm hoping for good results even though my be hasn't fermented for two weeks yet. I haven't seen any noticeable action in my airlock for two days now.

Yes it was wlp002, my bad. I'm just starting to learn about yeast and pitching rates. Also he, was talking about pitching 2 vials when pitching into the primary or make a starter. For some reason, 2 vials seems like a lot.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! It has been extremely helpful. In light of my comment about SG 1.064 being a bit high for my yeast.... I was told by my friend, who was told by a homebrew shop owner, that any SG above 1.050 almost requires a double dose of yeast in the primary if no starter is...

I was wondering if anyone had done this. My sg was 1.064. I pitched wyeast002 into primary and had good fermentation. I'm concerned that it wasn't enough though as my gravity was a bit high for this yeast. I plan in racking to a secondary to add flavoring. If my gravity didn't come down...

How and when do I use it? Does it get added to my boil or to my fermentor? At what stage of the boil do I add it? How much do I use? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
