-I did a 10 gallon stout using Belgian yeast (WLP500 and 550).
-Split with a friend in two carboys
-Did one huge starter and split it between the two carboys. (decanted and swirled the yeast up real good and split it equal amounts in each carboy)
-Used pure oxygen with a stone for 60 seconds on each
-One carboy fermented down to 1.015
-One carboy is stuck at 1.040
To the stuck carboy I've tried...
-New yeast (new vile of WLP500)
-Yeast Nutrient added
-Gently roused the yeast a couple times
-warmed it up
Same beer, same yeast - the only difference I can see is he fermented probably 5 degrees cooler than mine. So I guess I'm looking for advise on how to get mine down lower, and also any idea why this would have happened?
