Hello everyone,
I started an IIPA on 6/5/11. I let it sit in the primary for 17 days at 68*F before racking to the secondary today. When I measured the gravity I was concerned by how high it was (1.037). It tasted OK (a little on the sweet side of course), but I know it's at least 10 points from where it should be. My recipe is below, as well as the estimated and actual OG and FG.
Would someone please give me some advice? Should I try some amylase and if so how much? Should I try repitching (I've got a package of Notty in the fridge)? Should I just let it be? Help...and thanks!
