Our home brew has been fermenting for over three weeks now. I've checked the hydrometer reading once every week. It's been sitting at 1.026 almost two weeks now. The OG reading was on target at 1.071. And the FG is suppose to be at 1.017. This was an all grain DIPA with Zythos hops. This morning I went and racked to carboy for 2nd fermentation. Noticed that the airlock was cracked at the bottom just before it went into the plug. So air has been getting into the bucket all this time. Am I screwed with this batch? Or can it be saved or still be able to drink. It smells and looks like tea. I racked to a 5 gallon carboy with a new airlock in place. Should I wait another week or two? Or is my FG going to be at 1.026?
