Hi, I have been letting a milk stout ferment for the past 2 weeks or so and my fg readings have hardly changed. We used a bit extra lactose than what one may normally use (and i know that'll add a few points to the reading), but it continues to be stuck around 1.028. I started with 1099 yeast and let it go for about 10 days and it seemed done, but I could not imagine that the extra lactose could make it be around 13 points higher than any calc. said it should be. I threw in an extra safale s-05 just to see if it may continue fermenting and all i got was 1 point drop in a week. Here's the question: is it possible that adding like 20% extra lactose would keep this stout pretty high (its been steady for almost 2 weeks too) in fg? I think its done...do you? or is it stuck?
