Hi Everyone,
So I was going to bottle my first beer today! . I checked the FG and it hasn't moved for a week. The current gravity reading is 1.018. My kit says I need 1.08-1.12. So my fermentation is stuck. What do I do? How do I restart it again? Should I get more yeast and add more yeast? Will that bring the gravity too low if I do that? I used two packets of yeast. When I opened the first packet, I used all the yeast, but with the second packet, I lost half of it on the kitchen counter. Could this be why it possibly stopped? Because instead of 2 packets, I basically had 1.5 packets? Also, if I add new yeast, do I need the same strain?
Thanks Everyone!
