18.5-28-23: Appears to have stalled again, so, yanked from keezer and placed in house with ambient temp of 68°.
19.Gravity test showed 1.040 (-10 points from OG)
20.5-29-23: Yeast kicked into high gear.....was cruising for 24 hours. Placed back into keezer at 62°
21.Scheduled temp range has been compromised.....guess I'm winging it from here on out.
22.6-1-23: Tested gravity......reading 1.010, which, if accurate, puts it at 3.94% ABV
23.6-4-23: Racked beer (now at 1.08 giving 4.2% ABV) into a secondary/lagering carboy, dropped temp to 35° and will lager (cold crash) for 4 weeks (after 6-30-23).
25.Add 1/4 to 1/2 packet of same yeast and 5oz of corn sugar to beer in bottling bucket, then bottle.
