Hi all
I have been searching the forum and haven't been able to find quite the same situation. I have seen some people stuck at 1.020 but i am stuck at 1.029.
Here are the details:
It's my 2nd all grain batch and I was trying to make a honey beer for the swmbo. Base grain was 2-row, had some honey malt in it. Mashed at 151-152F. OG was 1.053, pitched at ~72F (a little high) with wlp041 yeast. I read that it's a slow yeast, but I checked it after about a week and it's at 1.029 so I'm thinking it's slow, just give it more time. So I check at 2 weeks and it's still at 1.029... I am using a refractometer and I know the alcohol alters the readings, but it can't be that far off can it? 7 days later and no drop in gravity?
