  Just to provide an update in case it helps the next brewer...I racked the porter over to a
  corny this morning, took a hydrometer reading, and it was right on 1.0215. Thanks guys.

  You definitely don't need to stir once you have re-pitched more yeast like you did.It sounds
  like stpug has pointed you in the right direction with the refractometer info...Going through
  the small pri...

  Alright. So after pumping from boil kettle through chiller and into fermenter, I always take an
  accurate hydrometer reading. However, as fermentation occurs, I sample with a 5ml glass pipette
  and test...

  It's easier done than explained :D . This site gives all the nitty gritty details. (I think)So
  this refractometer has been lying to me this whole time?

  Sometimes highly flocculating yeast drop before the job is done. Give the fermenter a gentle

  should help...

  Are these gravities by any chance obtained from a refractometer (16.4% brix and 9.2% brix)? If
  they are, and you haven't corrected your final gravity, then you're sitting at around 1.018
  which would p...

  Thanks for the feedback so soon. I have it pegged on 68° and I pitched the yeast on Jan 29.
  What is that? 10 days?

  Good evening, gentlemen.I have recently brewed a first attempt at a robust porter, and the
  gravity seems a bit high after a few good? days of fermentation.. The recipe is as
  follows:Yeast: Wyeast 1968...

  Good evening all,I have plans to brew a robust porter in the next few days and would really
  appreciate some input. After researching the levels, I have settled on what reflects (more or
  less) a London...
