I posted a really long paragraph the first time out so im gonna keep this shorter and cleaner.
I've been trying to brew a festabrew double oatmeal stout. Followed the directions and screwed up left and right. my fermentation stopped, and i added more yeast, it started for twenty minutes and stopped again.
So i've been letting it sit trying to see if the sg will drop from its 1.02 reading. However today i got home and the sg went UP to 1.03, so i can only imagine that i must have an infection or something is terriblly wrong to make it go back up when its been sitting not doing anything.
Should i chuck this batch and try anew or is there any hope me. I actually took some and bottled it last night, one bottle that is, and opened it tonight just for kicks, and it tasted like carbonated beer. In fact it was quite tolerable. But now im too worried to continue on without getting some advice first.
THANKS!
