I brewed a Tripel today. O.G. 1.084 and pitched something like 300 billion cells to a 6-gallon batch.
I've been having trouble with beers not attenuating like I'd like them to.
I aerate with an air stone (just filtered air, not pure Oxygen) just prior to pitching and then again 12 hrs later, about 10-15 min each time.
Any further advice on getting higher attenuation, I'd like to see it reach the upper 80's, maybe 87, 88%.
I was planning on adding sugar after fermentation has begun, how long after pitching or high krausen should I wait before adding sugar to keep the yeast cranking?
Thanks a lot.
