I started a American wheat beer on 8-12 I decided to up the extract and tried to brew a high ABV beer:
6 lbs Bavarian Wheat Extract (double)
4 lbs Light DME (double
And I steeped 2 lbs of white wheat
The expected of the OG was 1.038-42 before the doubling. The actual OG was 1.090 at 80 degrees. I pitched two vials of WLP320 (Hef)
On 8-18 I took a measurement and stirred the yeast at the bottom of the carboy. The gravity was 1.043. I added yeast nutrients and checked the gravity today 8-21 and the gravity was now 1.020. The yeast has finally dropped to the bottom of the carboy.
Should I pitch more new yeast or leave the carboy to rest for another week and bottle at the 1.020 gravity? At that gravity what amount of priming sugar should I add on 5 gallons?
