Greetings,
To start with, I have two batches fermenting, one a 6 Gallon coffee porter and one a 5 gallon gluten free sorgum based IPA. Starting gravities were 1.063 and 1.069, respectively.
Both beers have been in the same environment, in the basement. Temperature fluctuates between 59-68 degrees, given I'm in the north east.
I'm on day 6 of fermentation. I did a check as I haven't seen much activity from the gluten free beer. The G/F is at 1.042, showing very slow movement, while the porter is at 1.020.
Is sorgum known to not ferment as fast? Should I be concerned and possibly be adding more yeast or yeast nutrient?
Thanks!!
