Hey,
Just went to bottle an IPA from extract kit. Has been sitting in primary for four weeks. After sterilising my gear I then decided to check the gravity (arseways I know) only to find out it was at 1.017. Fek! Temp was a fairly constant 18 degrees celcius but can't say for sure as I was away for a while.
I checked the hygrometer and it is properly calibrated so then I got my paddle and stirred up some of the trub at the bottom, stuck on a brewbelt 2 inches from bottom and refilled the airlock. I'm hoping something happens in next few days as I would really like to clear out my bins for the next brew. I wont be around for about 4 weeks after that you see. All my planning gone out the window!
Some more info - OG was 1.041, expected FG is 1.01 (I think). I think I have a pack of Safale 04 somewhere so his could be an option I guess. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve.
