So....about 5 1/2 weeks ago I made starter with WLP885. It took about week and a 1/2 to finish at 50 degree temps. It was at that time that I turned it loose on a 1.070 maibock at 47 degree temps (it has stayed at this temp since). After about two weeks it hit 1.040. After about three weeks it hit 1.035. Since then I've been trying to shake the bucket a bit each day to rouse the yeast. I measure it today after 4 weeks in the fermenter and it's at 1.032. It's not going anywhere it seems. I am at a loss. It tastes good right now,but it needs to finish (too sweet). Not sure what to do? Raise the temp? Rouse the yeast more?
.......or do I add yeast? Just finished fermenting a Vienna lager that went from 1.060 to 1.010 in a week at 47 degrees. Should I add some of this yeast to finish the Maibock? How much if so?
