So my Okto has been sitting at 50 degrees for a little over 3 weeks now.
1 weeks ago the SG was 1.030. Today it's the same. There is activity in the airlock - about a bubble every 10-15 seconds. However, the gravity is unchanged.
So what would you do?
I'm inclined to rack out of this vessel and repitch using dry yeast in attempts to get this thing below 1.020 (see the reason why below). I suppose I could just repitch in the primary as well but there's just a ton of trub and junk in there, alot of it is suspended.
Question #2 - does the ton of suspended crap (just particulate junk) affect my gravity reading. I would guess it does, but to what extent? My thinking is that I could rack into a secondary, hopefully let it clear up some, check a reading, see if there's a difference; if no difference repitch some dry yeast.
Or......just repitch in primary?
Never had a stuck fermentation this high before. Having this be a lager makes it tougher.
