Hi,
I have had a Midwest Triple fermenting for 3 weeks as of this wednesday. Today I took a hydrometer reading and got 1.034 (the O.G. was higher than MW predicted at 1.08). It tastes good (obviously extremely sweet).
I am worried the fermentation might be stuck. There seems to be no airlock activity. (I know that I'll need to take more gravity measurements to confirm this). Is the fermentation stuck or does it often take these higher gravity beers a long time to finish?
I aerated with a paddle and my drill motor. It has been fermenting on a ramped schedule from 63 F to 70 F, over the first week. The temp was low last week (65 F). I have turned the temp up again to 70 F.
Thanks for any help.
