I am making a Smoked Maple Porter http://byo.com/smoked-beer/item/2098-smoked-maple-porter I used 1 pack of Wyeast 1968 Special London yeast. My O.G. was 1.065. On day 6 my S.G was 1.024. I racked it to the secondary & found that the yeast cake on the bottom of the bucket was very thick & almost "gel-like". I used my racking cane to slightly disturb the yeast & did notice some grey "chunks" transfer to the carboy. They remaining yeast in the bucket went down the drain.
On day 12 my S.G. is still 1.024 and I do have a grey colored layer on the bottom of the carboy. Since the targeted F.G. is 1.017 - 1.018, I don't feel that it is done yet. Did I transfer enough yeast when I racked into the secondary? Should I add another pack of yeast?
