After my Russian Imperial stout seemed to stop fermenting the FG was high
and it seems my OG was a bit low, I racked it anyways to a secondary, in
which it seemed to have no activity. I know it may have been premature to
rack it but I'm still learning. it was only 4 days in the primary but as I
said it was over active fermenting at 70 F for the first 24 hours then
slowed quickly. FG at racking was 1.031 down from 1.071. 5 days in the
secondary it has dropped to 1.028. not a whole lot but some. My
question...do I let it just sit for another week or so or should I consider
one of these "energizers" I keep reading about? or should I repitch more
yeast? if either of these things how do I redo or do these things? do I need
to proof the yeast or some special thing for adding the energizer? Thanx in
advance.
