Second yeast pitching

[Beer_Punk]

In an attempt to force my JZ Golden Ale to finish (heh... finish) below 1.030 I made a 1000ml started using a Cal Ale slurry I had been storing in the fridge for about 3 weeks. I shook up the yeast and just pitched the top layer into my started. After a day I had some wicked foam at the top of my 1gal growler that I was using for the started. I then transferred the starter into my carboy (as cleanly as I possibly could). Does this sound like it may work for getting a lower FG?

It might pull it down a little, it also might peter out do to the current alcohol content. You might try the beano trick.

I thought beeno was for deactivating enzymes or something. How would that help my beer ferment?

beano is an enzyme that works like alpha amylase, but at cold temps.

Ummmmm... sooo...

I'm no expert but I did try the Beeno trick on a beer I wanted to dry out a bit more. And, as has been noted before, the enzymes do not stop. I don't know what would happen in a keg but in the bottle I eventually wound up with gushers. It was an experiment I won't try again.

Obviously there was some other problem with the beer otherwise I wouldn't have "experimented" on it, but still I don't think the Beeno did me any favors.
