However, I do have a question and need some advise. I brewed and IPA starting at 1.065. I used 862 (Cry Havoc) yeast that was washed. Being the patient person that I am I checked it yesterday after a month in primary and it is only at 1.029. I was thinking by now it would be at 1.019 with only 70% attenuation. The temps have been consistently around 62ish. I still see tiny bubbles being released from the yeast (glass carboys). I am inclined to think that the yeast are still working but at a slower pace.
My questions are;
1. should I leave it along and let it sit on the yeast for say another week or two;
2. rack to secondary and maybe add us-05 for the finish now;
3.rack to secondary and let it age out adding no additional yeast
4. bump the temp up a tad
I lightly stirred up the yeasties yesterday, but again, you can see evidence they are releasing tiny bubbles. Thanks for any input; I just don't recall this ever happening to me after 1 month
