Hello everyone,
I have a batch of an IIPA done from partial mash in my secondary.
My OG was at 1.078. I pitch a pack (11gr) of Nottingham and 8 days later, after I noticed a significant drop in the fermentation activity, I transferred to my secondary for dry hopping. The gravity was 1.036.
9 days later, still in the secondary. The airlock is still letting out some bubbles of CO2. Took a gravity measurement: 1.033.
10 days later, again, still in the secondary. The airlock is still letting out some bubbles of CO2. Took a gravity measurement: 1.031.
This is were I'm at. Is my fermentation stuck ? If not, will this fermentation have a chance of reaching a final gravity of 1.018 (for example), before Christmas ? I am starting to be a bit worried as the beer is basically fermenting for more than a month now and I am still far from the expected FG...
Should I repitch with some Nottingham ? If yes, how much ? Should I go more drastic with Champagne yeast ? Any other suggestion ?
Thanks!
Thanks for your input!
