    fermentation temp: Recipe vs. Packet...?

    Tripel Stuck? Or Slow?

    Without a stir plate you probably didn't give the yeast much time to replicate and likely underpitched

    Thanks. I'm a little hesitant to use sulfates but I may try that. Should I add it to the secondary a day or two before back sweetening? And kegging
