OG 1052
FG 1013
actual FG 1016/17
Recipe was a Fullers London Porter style
The original gravity with a brewhouse efficiency of 75 percent was predicted and measured 1052 based on the recipe and yet its final gravity seems rather high at 1016/17. I am a little worried because its been in the FV for about two weeks and although I cannot say for sure if fermentation has stopped, its certainly very slow. I used S-04 yeast and just pitched it onto the wort directly without rehydrating. I have two questions.
1. If it stays at 1016 what will happen if I prime and bottle it?
2. What alternatives are there to get it lower? adding another packet of yeast? or simply giving it time?
many thanks for taking the time regards Robbie:hat:
