I brewed this clone according to this recipe with an OG of 1.047. I cooled my wort to about 75 degrees when I aerated using shake/ swirl method. I did added a single pack of WLP833 and I regrettably did not use a starter. The recipe didn't say anything about it (I should have know better).
12 hours after pitch, fermentation was in full swing and I started cooling to 53 degrees where it remained for 10 days. Recipe then called for a D-rest. I took a reading of 1.020 which I thought was a little high but from what I have heard a fair amount of points can be knocked off when the temp comes up. This leads me to today where this beer has been at about 65 degrees for 24 hours and beer is still right on at 1.020.
I know this new measurement was only one day later but I was really thinking I would have come a little ways with the warmer temperature. I will give it a bit more time and I suppose I can try to rouse the yeast, but should I be looking at pitching some more? If so, should I try to get my hands on another pack of 833 or can I just toss in some S23 or S34/70?
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
