    Stuck Fermentation on Really Big Imperial Stout

    Yeah, mine stopped again. It went slow and steady for about a week then stopped completely again. I ultimately missed my target, but it got me close enough. I mean, I'd personally rather have a dry beer than an overly sweet one, bit that's just my personal preference.
