i got 2 batches of beer that were fermenting and someone turned the heater off while i was gone for 2 weeks.
beer temp is now 40 degrees.
one fg should be 1.018 and is reading 1.020 at 40 degrees so i think it is pretty much done.
the other is reading 1.020 as well but the fg is supposed to be 1.013
i am gonna leave this batch since it probably isn't done and hope that it ferments down more when it reheats.
the other one is done and i wanna bottle it tomorrow. my questions is how do i know if the yeast is dead or not? if i bottle it and there is none in suspension it won't carb up.
any suggestions what i should do?
just give it a shot? or add more fermentables or something else????
help me please with any suggestions or advice.
