I would let it ferment for another week or two before worrying. If you are still not at your desired FG, I've had success with pitching a starter of WLP099. It'll eat any of the fermentable sugars left. If the notty is working, then you should be good. I've never had success with adding dry yeast in these situations but YMMV.

Agreed. Wasn't meant to be a knock at you .

I also think bierandbikes is correct in trying out US-05. I use it quite a bit and is very alcohol tolerant while still being very clean and neutral.

I've heard people using US-05 for beers at 20+%

Yes, luckily my LHBS was open for a few hours today. He gave me a vial of wlp099 as a Christmas present I'm just gonna wait at least another week. If its still above 1.020, ill let the beast yeast finish the job.

So you didn't rehydrate the Notty, assuring you destroyed 1/2 the viable cells instantly. The other half won't have much hope in such an alcoholic environment (10%+). That was clearly a waste.

As mentioned, you also underpitched by a large margin to begin with. I would guess this will crap out around 1.040 if you're lucky. Best bet at this point is to get a big starter of WLP099 going and pitch it at high krausen.

I did rehydrate actually, as I usually do when using dry yeast as a remedial. But thanks for your negative input, macho man

Sounds contradictory to me. Good luck with your 15% "IPA".
