3 weeks ago, I brewed a Milk Stout (LME recipe from Northern Brewer). The target O.G. was 1.051, and I nailed it perfectly.
For yeast, I used two packets of Safale S-04. I had a short but vigorous primary (1 bubble/second14 hours after brewing). It slowed down at 2.5 days, and was barely moving at 3.5 days. Temperature held at 68 degrees except for one day when it climbed to around 72 degrees.
After one week in primary, I transferred to secondary and took a gravity reading. 1.033, which is much higher than I expected.
Today, after two weeks in secondary, I took another gravity reading. 1.030
No foul smells or signs of infection. Tastes like it wants to be a stout.
What can I do? Add more yeast?
Thanks.
