I have had my first AG brew, a 2.5 gallon batch nut brown ale in the fermenter for a month now.
IG was 1.056, at 2 weeks it was at 1.030 now 4 weeks out it is just at1.029.
First mistake I made was to pitch a vial of WPL002 yeast without making a starter. Fermentation was slow to start.
Brew sheet says it should be at 1.018 or so. I sloshed the bucket around at the 2 week mark to rouse things up but with no great response. So do I just let it go some more or pitch a packet of dry yeast in to finish it off? I don't want to end up with bottle bombs in the basement.
