Howdy guys and gals I feel kinda like a noob with this one, but I've never had a stuck fermentation before.
Long story, but I'll try to make it short...
Thermometer broke when I went to pitch the yeast(ale) and I seem to have killed all the yeasties (probably too cold rather then too hot). No problem, after 4 days of nothingness, I pitched somemore. All was well for about 7 days, then whammo, nothing. The beer is on the heavy side with an og of 1.086, it is now down to 1.024. The temp in the basement is in the low 60's so I figured that's why I saw activity for the 7 days. I transfered to the secondary yesterday. Do I need to reoxygenate the wort or pitch some lager yeast? or take my own advice and relax and have a homebrew?
