I used the following grain bill for a sweet stout (5 gal). Grains were steeped at 155 F for 30 min then extract/lactose added followed by 60 minute boil.
6# Golden light LME
1# Lactose
1# Black Patent
12oz Crystal 75
OG came in at 1.050. For yeast I was using Safale US-04 rehydrated in a pint of water ahead of time. When bringing the bowl of yeast out my wife spilled a decent portion of it. I pitched what was left and moved the fermenter in. When I checked it 2 days later the ambient temp had crept up to 79 F and all signs of fermentation had stopped with a FG of 1.022. I moved it to the basement @ 69 F and a few days later added a yeast starter of about a half pack of Nottingham in. That was three days ago. No signs of fermentation right now and I'm at a 1.017 FG.
My question is should I try to repitch another starter with a gradual ramp up or should I just deal with it being a little/sweet light and move on? Thanks.
