I recently brewed a porter using a kit / partial mash technique. All went well except I messed up the yeast and didn't put enough in. As a result, it went from an OG of 1.050 to a FG of only 1.022. I went ahead and carbonated the beer in the keg to try it anyway. It is not very nice at all.
I would like to save the beer if possible, but not sure that given it's been carbonated for a number of weeks now, and has been sitting at 3 Deg C in the keg, if it is possible. I thought about racking it back to a fermenter, warm it up back to 18-20 Deg C and pitch more yeast. Does anyone know if this will work or have any other idea? How much extra yeast would I pitch? And would the beer need to lose all of its carbonation before pitching more yeast?
Thanks.
