I started with a reading of 1.043, but after two weeks in the fermenter, the gravity is at 1.023. Am I done, or can I get more out of this...?
And, I don't know what I was really thinking, this is only my second brew, but here is my recipe (done in a Mr. Beer, LBK):
Starting with about five qrts of water.
30 min, around 150F, of 9 ounces British Cyrstal 60.
60min boil with 2lbs of Briess Golden light
.3 oz of Northdown at 60min, then another .3 at 20min, and another .3 at 10min.
Added a solid gallon of boiled, 'sat in fridge overnight' water, to the LBK, then added the completed wort. Checked temp- around 70F.
Took half a pack of a 11.g pack of Windsor yeast, hydrated it with water only and pitched.
Did I do anything terribly wrong? Should I re-pitch? I've looked and read a lot about extract getting stuck at 1.020....is this what I'm facing?
Any help would be appreciated. First batch went down the drain, and this second is a little disheartening.
