I am not sure what happened but...
I brewed a Hefeweizen on the 4th of June. Everything went fine. I let it sit in the primary for 6 days. Then racked to secondary. I check the gravity a found it had it had only gone from 1.048 to1.026. I repitched some dry yeast and nothing after a week. I went to my HBS and they told me it was a stuck fermentation and wasn't much I could do. Told me maybe champagne yeast may get it started. Still nothing and then it started to smell bad. It tasted like vinegar and smelled worst.
I end up duping it this morning. Oh well 7 good batches and 1 bad.
I will try again.
