I am using a tilt, which measured the OG at 1.063 and now reads 1.021. 1/2 of Kveik yeast on a 15G batch, trying to get orange esters to go with 1lb hopstand only citra hops.
I have been adding hot water to the tub the 15.5G torpedo is sitting in. The fermentation seems to have stalled when the temp dropped to the low 70’s . Boosted the temp up to around 100f but not getting much movement. It did seem to drop from 1.022 to 1.021 over a few days at elevated temps.
Give it more time at higher temp?
Let it sit and lager for a while at 73f?
Pour a pint and measure gravity with a hydrometer? Taste? Maybe a little residual sweetness isn’t so bad with the Pilsner DME?
Add some S05 to help finish it up? I think I could pressure transfer some in without introducing much oxygen.
