I haven't used WLP007 Dry English Ale in a long time. I don't remember it looking like cottage cheese. My starter looks nasty but it's fermenting so nothing to worry about I hope.

It's one of the chunkiest yeasts I've used. Drops clear as anything once it's done fermenting, though.

Right click the image, choose "Copy image location" and post it here. Or right click the image, choose properties, then copy the second image address!

With the stir plate running the picture doesn't show the true size of the cottage yeast curds.

If you ferment in a glass carboy, you're in for a show. It looks worse during fermentation! LOL I think it's got to be the weirdest fermenting yeast I've seen. But drops like a rock in a few days.

Has anyone had any problems with a stuck fermentation using WLP007?
I brewed a Winter Warmer ale that had a high OG of 1.072. After two weeks in the primary it was only down to 1.044 I pitch two vials (without using a starter) because of the high OG. the FG was supposed to be 1.018.
Last night to try and get this thing to finish I used one more vial and made a starter (first time, I hope I did it right). About 2 hours after I pitched the yeast I still didn't see any signs of fermentation. The Wort has been at a temperature of about 70 the whole time.
Any ideas to correct this would be appreciated, plus I don't ever want this to happen again.

I'd question the fermentability of your wort. Was it an all-grain or extract batch.

have you tried rousing the yeast? it can floc out early - usually at lower temps which isn't an issue for you but still may be worth gently rousing

I shook the carboy up before I pitched the last of the yeast last night. When I checked it this morning I didn't see any visible signs if fermenting but I will take a gravity reading when I get home. Any idea why it would stop early?
