Hello all. Well this is a first for me. Did an IPA with my home grown hops (also a first for me.). I have been using bells yeast, and it has always done great for me, this was a second generation. I almost didnt pitch this yeast because the starter smelled a bit sour, but tasted okay. At any rate, fermentation took off in 24 hours and looked no different then anything i have seen in the past. OG was 1.072 and was hoping to get down to 1.019 or so. Mashed right at 153, and everything went as expected during brew day. Left in primary for about 2 weeks at 68 degrees by which point little activity was going on (normal for me anyways), then dryhopped in primary for another week at around 70 degrees. Went ahead and kegged it up, then thought, i should do a reading. Came in at 1.035....... So.... any way to save it? Could i try repitching some more yeast?
Also, if my bells yeast mutated, is there the possibility it just won't ferment out like it should? Just curious on what the cause was, i have never had this problem.
Thanks!
