DO NOT DUMP! OG is off but (if this was a partial boil) are you sure you mixed the wort and top-off water really really really well and corrected for temperature if your gravity sample was at anything but 60F? Either way, DO NOT DUMP

...and refer to Motleybrew's ^^^ #5 - that's what it's all about!

Brew it! No question. My $.02 = take notes - not just what you did but what you wish you had done and what would have made you brew day easier (equipment, preparation, etc.). And, of course, as hard as it is, once it in the fermenter, forget about it for at least a week. BTW - every time I...

I've been pondering the same thing. I have myself convinced that after a 3-4 days of temp controlled fermentation I can stop worrying about keeping ice in the swamp, depending on the yeast. My basement is currently mid to low 70s, I've got a batch with Ardennes going and I think that's a good...

Thank you for your service, Lainatan. You deserve many, many home brews; wish I could offer you one right now. Defensor Fortis!

I'm having a similar experience with my first batch. Mine stalled at .022 and I racked it to secondary to free up my only fermenter. Yeasties got all excited again and after two days it's close to target FG (.016) and starting to clear up. I'll leave it for a few weeks or until I get antsy...
