Fermenting a porter

[lwald]

I have a porter in the fermentor.
It has a og of 1.079. And I took a reading and it has a fg of 1.030 so I wasn't thing and
I put in the secondary fermentor. Is that ok? or should add yeast and see if it will drop more.
Beer ****h tells me it should be at 1.013 or 15
i think. And with a of 8 to9% abv
Let me know. Cheers...

All grain or extract, what yeast, what temperature did you ferment at, post recipe and process as at 1.030 you are quite a bit off of the desired FG and depending on the answers to these questions we can help you figure out why. In the future it is best to figure these things out BEFORE you decide to go into another vessel. Now that it's off the initial yeast cake the only thing you can do is pitch more yeast but that would require aerating the beer and that would result in oxidizing the beer and that would be bad

I used So4 yeast. At 66 ad it was all grain
