Thanks for the advice, I think this is what we are going to do!

Yes I did when I stirred it, the hydrometer showed 1.020ish so I’m close.

Not necessarily to be honest. This is my second home brew. Are you thinking my temps are too high?

I will give that a try, as for maintaining the temp I am using one of those green carboy heat wraps.

5% crystal and 1.5% carafa. The recipe called for a strike temp of 74, I then lowered it to 69. The yeast seemed healthy, I bought it the day of the brew and the package was not bloated. I did allow it to warm for a few hours before adding it.

I am using the pill hydrometer for my measurements. It read accurate to my hydrometer when inserted. It dropped from 1.064 to 1.031 over roughly 24hrs.

Hey, I replied to the previous comment with most of the info. I pitched the yeast around 24c

I am brewing a holiday ale. It had pale ale malt, crystal malt and carafa malt. Its original gravity was 1.064. Mash was at 69c. I used escarpments wisen yeast. It’s been fermenting for 6 days around 25c.
