This is kind of a continuing saga, I posted earlier concerning this batch, about the extreme "hoppiness", which I wasn't expecting. It is a recipe kit from Midwest:
Here's the recipe and stats.
Superior Strong Ale
Recipe For 5 Gallons
SG: 1.063-1.067
FG: 1.014-1.018
IBUs ≈ 52.0
OG was 1.064, it spent 7 days in the primary, moved to secondary with a SG of 1.026. It is now almost 2 weeks later, and the SG is STILL at 1.026. That's a long was from the expected above. It doesn't seem to be getting any clearer at this point, still a bit hazy. Should I just bottle? Or let it sit in the carboy for a while? How can I avoid "stuck fermentation" in future batches? It seems to be an ongoing problem with me, this is the second batch to not reach it's target FG, I bottled a Coopers Amber at 1.020 last month that should have hit 1.010. Any suggestions appreciated.
