I brewed a pale ale last week (Dec 8th). OG 1.054. Pitched in some new Wyeast 1272 that I had grown up in a starter. Fermentation kicked off right away (24 hrs). Now, 9 days later, I took a hydro reading and its only at 1.030 and still visibly churning in the carboy. My place is kept at around 65C.
This has been a running problem with a lot of my batches lately.
The only source of the problem I can think of is that I've started using a counterflow chiller with a wort wizard. The carboy is a closed system so a vacuum can be created by the wort wizard, so I'm assuming all the O2 has been sucked out. Is that a possible explanation for this problem I have been having lately?
