Looking for any reasons, input, suggestions, condolences... My brown ale has been in the fermenters for 2 weeks now, and has only moved 20 gravity points... The recipe is:
Golden promise
Carabrown
Red wheat
C-120
Aromatic
Yeast is wyeast 1450, 1 liter starter for 10 gallons, split into two fermenters
Mashed at 155 for 60 minutes...
Both fermenters started up in <24 hours, krausen coming out of the blow off tube, I thought it was a healthy fermentation, but after 2 weeks its only moved 20 points. Started at a 1.061 now I'm at a 1.041.
I pulled one liter out of one fermenter and pitched a fresh jar of yeast to ensure it is ferment able wort and repitch, but I'm looking for any reasons why or other suggestions to save this beer...
