Is an FG of 1.016 roughly right for an extract red ale?
I'd like to bottle it on Saturday or Sunday when it will be 2 weeks in... if the FG is still 1.016.
The krausen dropped on Monday night and the FG sample was last night (Tuesday).
What I want to ask is... now the 90% bulk of fermentation is complete, would placing it in a warmer location help the clean up/conditioning over the final days?
It's on the floor and reading 20C / 68F if I move it to the top of the beer fridge it will be gently heated (and occasionally gently massaged when the compressor is running (which is actually very quiet)) and should get up to 24-26C / 76-79F
