Hi all...
I'm doing an imperial stout that has a target gravity of 1.024. We started at 1.102 and after three weeks its held steady for a few days now at 1.041. I went with an Irish ale yeast (i think wl004 if I remember correctly). My guess is that the yeast mostly died from the ~7.6% ABV. Again recipe stated about 10.5% ABV. The recipe also called for WL001 which may have had a better chance at reaching the lower gravity.
Do you think its too late to try adding more yeast to see if I can push the gravity a bit lower? Adding O2 at this point in the game I'm guessing could alter the taste a bit. Any tips from the pros out there? Thanks!
