First post! Of many to come I'm sure. :fro:
So, my baby spend 8 days in the primary at an OG of 1.0062. I then transfered it into secondary carboy and added 3oz of fresh Cascade hops on top. After 13 days in the secondary I decided to get a sample to taste and to measure its gravity. It tasted great and it currently has a gravity of 1.0016. At racking into secondary (13 days ago) it had a gravity of 1.0020.
Even though I like the taste of it, it has almost no carbonation... So, my question is: should I add a bit more yeast to it? I plan on bottling in 2 days.
After my tasting I used a spoon to stir the solution to get more out of the hops. Would this stirring action be enough to ensure that the yeast will keep on doing its job once in the bottles?
Thanks!
