Brewed an AG Octoberfest ale. Made a 2L starter from a Kolsch smack pack. Thing was bubbling away quickly and a couple days in. Got the kit from morebeer. My OG reading was right on the money. Fermentation temps suggested 50 degrees. So, I put it in a cooler with water in the coldest room in my basement. Kept it in the area of 50 degrees, sometimes maybe a little cooler. (few degrees)
Just checked gravity yesterday and it was 1.023. Seems to have a ways to go, or it is stuck, or it is done. It tasted OK, not too bad. I read the previous post where sometimes it is just done at that reading.
I am looking for suggestions. Is it possible that it wil continue? Should I pull it out of the water and put in a room a little warmer? Just looking for ideas for a rookie. I understand I didn't give you a ton of info. Any help is appreciated.
