Hello all. First time posting, been stalking for a couple months.
I'm on my 2nd beer right now, a Peace Coffee Java Stout from Midwest. The recipe says OG~1.044 and FG~1.011. My OG was 1.040 and after 2 weeks in the primary it is 1.020. I pitched the dry yeast at about 80 degrees but quickly got the bucket in a swamp cooler and got temp to below 70 and its stayed between 60-70 since. Also, I've gotten into the habit of really moving the muslin bag around with my steeping grains to get a lot of flavor out. Not too sure if I should be doing this.
Last night was when I checked the gravity for the first time and the bucket was 60. I gave the bucket a few swirls to try and get it going again.
My question is do you think it is done at 1.020? Should I rack it or try and heat it up some to help the yeast? Thoughts?
