On May 6 I brewed a nice batch of amber ale with an OG of 1.052
I fermented with a starter of Wyeast 1098 (British Ale) from a previous batch. I made a 1.055 starter with pilsen DME two days before brewday.
In the first week the gravity dropped predictably to 1.023. That was May 16.
Afterwards, the fermentation went dog slow.
The gravities are as follows:
May 6 OG= 1.052
May 12 SG= 1.025
May 16 SG= 1.023 (transferred to secondary at this point)
May 19 SG= 1.022
May 24 SG= 1.020
The fermentation temperature started around 61F but due to warm ambient temps is sitting around 68F.
Is this normal? I'm usually bottling by now.
Has anyone else encountered
