Hi,
I brewed a batch of American Brown Ale about a month ago, OG .055, estimated FG .018.
I started fermenting at about 68 degrees and left for a week. During that time the temp dropped and the yeast crashed out early.. when I got back, my gravity was .040 with no more activity. I warmed the batch back up and things progressed, to about .030 after another week. From there, it's been absolutely stuck.
I tried agitating, I tried pitching more yeast, I tried just waiting... it's been a month since brewday now. I'm entertaining the idea that I screwed something up (it was an AG BIAB) and the FG is actually going to be .030, but that's a BIG difference.
Anything else I can try here? I'm afraid of exploding bottles and having a really weak beer
