Hey,
My friend and I made a Chocolate Milk Stout about 10 days ago with a OG of about 1.060. This was a five gallon batch in which we used:
8lbs. 2 row
1lbs. C-60
1lbs. Chocolate (grain)
1lbs. Roast barley
1lbs. Flaked Oats
4oz. Cocoa Nibs
3oz. Chocolate Baking Powder
1 oz. US Fuggles @ 60
1lbs. Lactose @ 15
All the grain measurements are in whole pounds because the brewery we order from made a mistake. We just decided to roll with it.
We noticed active fermentation the next morning, but by the second morning most all visible activity had trailed off. After 7 days we checked the gravity and it was at 1.027. After a total of 10 days, our gravity had dropped another 2 points to 1.025. We are a little stuck and curious what to do. Is the beer done fermenting? How do we fix it if it isn't? Any advice or thoughts would help. Thanks.
