Extract recipe told me to top up the fermenter to 5 gallons. I accidentally 5.5 gallons. Didn't really seem like there was anything I could do to "undo" that, so I just pitched yeast and put the airlock on.
Fermentation looked good, after 2 weeks I saw no more activity.
16 days I took gravity reading 1.012
2 days later I took another one, still 1.012.
Recipe I used called for FG of 1.015 (based on OG 1.062 -- I did not take an initial reading though)
My question is, due to the extra water, should I expect a lower gravity reading and move to bottling? OR.. Is this considered a "stuck" fermentation? Or.. Do I just need to wait longer?
Recipe info-
American Brown Ale
8# Canadian Light LME
0.5# Briess Crystal Malt
0.5# Munton Fison Carapils Malt
0.25# Briess Chocolate
1oz Brewers gold hops 60min
1oz Columbus hops 15min
1oz Columbus hops 2 min
WYEAST 1056
At around 10 days, added 1oz Citra Hops to the fermenter (this part was not in the recipe, we just felt like trying it)
