I brewed a Dogfish Head 60 min IPA 3/3. I pitched one packet of rehydrated yeast on 3/3 @ 7:30pm 67 degrees. Dropped the temp to 65 where it stayed until Monday. By 8am on Sunday the yeast was rocking. Sometime on Monday the yeast finished. I've read where this yeast kicks ass early on and finishes quick.
Today I took a gravity reading and it's at 1.020 which seems to be the norm from what other people have said.
I would like to get close to my estimated FG of 1.014.
If I raise the temp to 70 and leave for another week would gravity fall enough to get to 1.014 or 1.015? I really would like to avoid pitching more yeast (don't have any more Windsor) but I could pitch S04 if needed.
Here's some additional info:
5 gal batch
Mash at 148
60 min boil
89.4% 2row
3.5% Amber malt
3.5% Carafoam
3.5% Acid Malt
