I'm brewing a strong ale with the following ingredients:
* 10.5 lb amber malt extract
* 1.5 lb crystal 120L
* Danstar Notthingham yeast
The OG was 1.078. Fermentation started out strong only 12 hours after pitching and remained strong for 3-4 days. After 7 days I took a gravity reading and it was 1.028 with nearly no activity, here it was fermenting at about 62F. At day 10 I took another reading and it was 1.025 and decided to give it a quick stir and rouse the yeast, plus I warmed the primary up to 70F. On day 12 the gravity was 1.024 with no activity, so I decided to rack to the secondary. The target FG is 1.018
Now to my question. My secondary is currently sitting at 62F-66F with no activity. Should I repitch some more Nottingham yeast into my secondary? Or should I wait it out and hope the FG drops 6 more points.
