I did a Thomas Hardy Ale clone all-grain recipe 4 weeks ago. O.G. was 1.130 and pitched a starter of White Labs WLP004 Irish Ale yeast. Fermentation was at 64 degrees F and active, as usual. By day 4 my Tilt was reading 1.054. After 2 weeks I racked to secondary (which I normally don't do). Turns out my Tilt had a bunch of krausen stuck on top so was skewing the readings. With a clean Tilt, I had a reading of 1.047 at the start of secondary. Recipe called for finishing with an aggressive yeast - also something I never do.
I did a second starter of White Labs WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast, which was active when I pitched it 2 days later.
It's been 3 days since I pitched it and my Tilt is still showing 1.045. Not sure why I am not seeing the S.G drop.
Temp is at 68F - should I bring up the temperature?
Is it just that there is no O2 left for the yeast?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
