S-05 Krausen still present?!

[NYShooterGuy]

5 gallon Milk stout made on 10/24/2018. Lagered in garage with temps ranging from 54-42°F for 3 weeks. Moved to inside home with temps ranging from 60-67°F (I like my home cool) about 10 days ago.

Went to bottle today, and found Krausen still afloat. OG: 1.055. Today's SG: 1.018.

Obviously I need to let it keep working, I was just surprised that warming it up over 10 days ago would not have completed the conversion.

Typical for this to happen, or what did I do wrong?

Thanks to all for your advise, wisdom, wise-cracks, etc!

That doesn't look like kräusen but actual yeast islands floating around.

You fermented that low? Yeah it may or may not be done, but let it sit at room temp for a few days and take another reading and see if it's changed. It might drop another couple points but your FG is within proper range of the style.

couple things...

S-05 isn't a lager yeast...It's sweet spot is 65* +/- a couple...could let it go warm for another week just to see if it helps


could also be done, it is a milk stout after all....I can't get mine down past 1.028 or so b/c of the lactose


next time, do it in reverse. a week or two inside the house to ferment out, then a week in the garage to drop out
