So I brewed the BCS IPA recipe two weeks ago. Everything went well, hit all numbers, etc. Repitched WLP 001 from a BCS APA that just finished at 1010 FG. The APA tastes great. The IPA fermented at 67 for 14 days. I took an FG reading before kegging and got 1032!! WTF? And to make matters worse, when I harvested the yeast to repitch again, it started up in the flask I transferred it to. What should I do? Since the yeast is active again, should I pitch it back in and see what happens? The IPA tasted great, oddly not as malty sweet as one would expect from an FG of 1032. Bear in mind that I cant just go to the LHBS until monday when they reopen. Any thoughts?
