Hey Everyone,
I want to say this forum has been a huge help so far and I look forward to using it for the remainder of my homebrewing hobby!
I have an issue with a beer I brewed three weeks ago. It is the Brewers Best Summer ale, it is only my 3rd homebrew beer. I brewed it 3 weeks ago and had a somewhat low OG of 1.030. After brewing i had a hectic week and didn't have a chance to check the airlock much until the second week and saw no bubbling. I figured i had just missed it. Fast forward to today and I tested my gravity to find that it had gone from 1.030 to 1.015, by my math that is only about 2% ABV. Did I pitch bad yeast? And yes it was around 70 degrees when I pitched. With the fruit I expected a strong fermentation but didn't seem to get much. Anyway, is it a waste or should I try to pitch another thing of yeast to save the batch?
Thank you for your help!
