Hi All,
I was trying to brew a nice malty IPA but my mash temp was a bit high (157F). Based on this, BeerSmith says my expected final gravity is 1.018. I pitched a healthy 1L starter of White Labe 007 Dry English Ale yeast and after two weeks in the fermenter it has gotten down to 1.020 but the testing samples still have a bit of a cloying sweetness.
Do you think it is possible to push the final gravity a bit lower by re-pitching a packet of S-05 or some other yeast or am I boned by the too-high mash temp?
Thanks!
