just took another reading and i'm now down to 1.020 (fg supposed to be 1.005) so basically went steadily from 1.055 to 1.020 in just shy of three weeks... it seems steady but maaaaan this is slow lol. Beer is absolutely awesome though so I hope it keeps coming down. Probably take at least...

Gravity was taken with an hydrometer. I have since repitched and have had steady fermenting since then (previous 5 days ish) at 68 degrees. I will follow your advise and ramp up to 72 for a couple days once the krausen has settled. I am not sure if it was the actual repitching or the shaking of...

Agreed... I was using palmers recipe ( 1/2 cup for 500 ml) but i guess it does give you pretty high gravity... I'll step it up see what happens :) Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
