Hi HBT,
The other day I attempted my first AG batch, an American Stout, using BIAB. My postboil OG was determined at 1.069 after temp corrections, and using Mr. Malty, I initially pitched 3g of rehydrated dry yeast as I'm only making a gallon batch. It was bubbling vigorously for the first day or two, but around day 3 slowed drastically, and there's practically no krausen - if there is it's not nearly as much as I've seen before. With the idea that I didn't pitch enough yeast, I pitched about 2g additional last night, but today when I checked it seemed that fermentation was extremely slow (like what you might consider to put into secondary slow). I'm nervous to overpitch, especially after not seeing any changes from last night. Would anybody here possibly be able to offer advice on what I should do?
Thanks!!
