I am currently brewing a True Brew unhopped IPA extract kit. Fermentation stuck at 1.020 from day 3 through day 10, so I gave it a swirl on day 10. Now it is day 14 (since beginning of primary). I was planning on letting the brew sit in the primary bucket for a full 3 weeks from start to finish, then racking and bottling.
Now, since my batch was essentially inactive for about a week of this time while it was stuck, do I need to bump it another week in order to realize the benefits of letting it settle? I am assuming this is a yes since the purpose of secondary is to let the byproducts of fermentation settle out - and since my fermentation cranked back up at the time I would normally have been sitting inactive for about a week, I'll need to wait a little longer.
Thanks in advance!
