So this past weekend I brewed only my second batch of homebrew. I brewed an English IPA. However, I am a little concerned about the fermentation. When I bought all my ingredients I did not realize the yeast I got was expired. The yeast is White Labs Dry English Ale (WLP007) that had a best buy date of August 2010. The OG was 1.060 and I was looking to get a FG of 1.014-1.016. I checked my airlock and did not have much activity so I checked the gravity and it is currently at 1.022. I went to my LHBS and he gave me a container of Yeast Energizer from LD Carlson Company and told me I could try that. Do you think this will help my yeast get my beer to the FG that I am looking for? Also, this energizer comes as a powder and did not know if I could just put it straight into the beer or do I need to boil it with some water to sanitize it, cool it and then put it in the fermenter.
Thanks for any feedback you may have.
