Hey there,
I brewed the following recipe on June 28th, 2017 and today I draw a sample from it: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/512076/red-brux
The sample tasted good and I used a hydrometer to take a reading. The reading said 1.020, which is a bit high, giving the attenuation of this yeast.
I pitched two packs of WLP644 and the beer fermented at 24C/75F and now the temp is down to 22C/72F.
I know there were a lot of unfermentables in the recipe and I mashed high at 68C/154.4F, giving the threads I found on the Internet regarding this yeast, which should attenuate like hell.
Should I try to warm it up? I do not have any equipment to do so, but maybe try to cover it with some blankets?
Do you think the FG will drop more or this is it?
Thanks in advance. ( sad brewer )
