Hello
It seems I have a stuck fermentation.
It is an IPA with the following recipe and used WLP 001
UK Carastan Malt 8.00 oz
US Flaked Rye 4.00 oz
Canadian Honey Malt (Gambrinus) 4.00 oz
Extract - Light Dried Malt Extract 5lb 8oz Start Of Boil
Sugar - Candi Sugar Pale 1lb 10oz End Of Boil
OG - 1.052 Expected FG 1.007
After 4 days the gravity was 1.03, so it looked like fermentation was going well, then I decided to check 4 days later, as I was planning on bottling this as soon as 2weeks, because my beer supply is becoming a little low. However when I check the gravity was still 1.03. I waited another 4 days and checked again, no change, so I stirred the yeast hoping to rouse it. 4 days later still no change.
The beer tastes like I would expect it to, just a little bit sweet.
The local home brew shops around be have a limited selection of supplies.
So should I pick up a dry yeast pack and pitch it tomorrow? What else should I do to make it finish?
Thanks;
Sean
