Stirred and warmed, still stuck at 1.02
|
|
My Dunkelweizen has been in the primary over 2 weeks, and is still stuck at 1.02.
I checked it at day 10 then again at day 12 at is was 1.022. I posted on here and the guidance was to give it a gentle stir and maybe warm it up a couple degrees. I did both, went from 68 to 70 and gave it a gentle stir.
There was a little bit of airlock activity so i waited it out about 5 days and rechecked. It is still at 1.02
What should i do at this point?
Oh, its a Brewers Best Dunkelweizen and i pitched WLP380.
OG was 1.052

If it has been 12 days, you have gotten what you are going to get. Rack to secondary or bottle IMO.

BierMuncher, What does All-grain or extract have to do with it? Just curious.
Shouldn't we be looking for what his OG was, I guessing around 1.08?

It was an extract kit.
My OG was 1.052.
The only thing i am worried about is bottle bombs. Will i be okay with my FG? Thanks again

not familiar with brewer's best, but that is only 62% apparent attenuation.
it won't hurt to rouse again and let it sit another week. i never bottle before 3 weeks (yes even for hefeweizens and dunkelweizens, which are my specialty  )
the only thing i would say is if it used laaglander or other extract with lots of unfermentables...that would leave you with a high FG |

Extract kits rarely attenuate as fully as a all grain brews.
As far as bottle bombs...not likely. IF your beer is done fermenting in the fermenter, there's nothing to say it will start refermenting in bottles. I'd say get the ambient temperature up to 72-74 and give it another week. Once the OG is locked for 3-4 days...bottle it. |
