Hello to anyone who reads this message.
I brewed a lemon coriander weis beer about 4 weeks back. The OG was much higher than the recipe stated (1.070 to 1.051). This alone was surprising since I was following an all-extract recipe. I wasn't expecting the gravity to be that high so I didn't have a yeast starter available. I pitched one vial of liquid weihenstephaner yeast. Anyway, after one week in the primary my gravity was hovering around 1.030. I transferred it anyway to my secondary since bubbling was all but gone. I also moved it to the hottest spot in my house (about 74 degrees) to sit for the past three weeks. My gravity is now at 1.020 and has been for the past couple of weeks. The beer has a good flavor but it is way to sweet to bottle at this point. Any recommendations for adding more yeast to try to get the gravity lower? Thanks for reading.
