I brewed a Doppelbock recipe 3 weeks ago, fermented with Wyeast 2206 at 50F, pitched to a yeast cake from a Helles.
The OG was 1.076, and the FG is now 1.025 (corrected for temp), and the FG hasn't changed for the last week. The wort sample tastes a little too sweet from my taste.
I brewed this as a partigyle, and the small batch fermented to 74% AA with US-05. If the doppelbock fermented to the same degree, it would be at 1.019.
As I prefer beers to be less sweet, I'm wondering if I should try pitching some other yeast, such as a champagne yeast, or just RDWAHAHB?
The recipe:
Caramunich 0.82
Lt Chocolate 0.49
Crystal 150 0.16
Germ Lt Munich 9.81
German Pils 2.80
Mashed at 152F for 60 minutes.
