I brewed a Scotch Ale on july 23, SG 1072. Mashed at 155. I pitched a 1 liter before decanting starter of WLP 028. It seemed to be fine, fermented like a fiend for about 3 days (i.e. good normal airlock activity.)
Well this past friday i was going to rack it to secondary, before so I took a gravity reading...1030...WTF i thought, so I double checked everything, temperature was good, (stayed right around 67 the whole time.) So i spun the fermenter back and fourth to rouse up the yeast....i got a bit more airlock activity for about a day, then on sunday when I took another gravity reading it had dropped to 1029. I really don't call that progress...
A friend of mine suggested that I add some sugar to try and dry it out.
Should I do this, should I pitch another thing of yeast too?
What is the best way I should deal with this?
