So I used wyeast 1098 British Ale II yeast on a Surly Furious clone, and it had really poor attenuation. I made a half gallon starter, and fermented a little on the low side, 66 degrees. My OG was 1.058, but should have been 1.062, and my gravity went down to 1.020, and sat there for a week, I brought the temp up to 72 degrees, 3 days ago and it is still only at 1.018. (should have been down to 1.012-1.016). This beer has been in the primary for over 3 weeks now.
One question about the starter, I put it in the fridge overnight, and dumped off half of the "beer" which was still a little cloudy. I did warm it up to room temp before pitching. Kept the cake at the bottom and half of the "beer".
Is this correct, and should I wash this yeast, or pitch it?
