Man I hate stuck fermentations!
I brewed a Hefe last weekend that looks like this:
5.5 lb 2 row
2 lb rye malt
3 lb wheat malt
0.5 lb cara red
I mashed at 154 for one hour. Aerated the wort well. OG = 1061
WLP380 Hefe w/1750ml starter.
I pitched at 62F and its been there ever since. It took about 20 hours before I saw any airlock activity, then it took off and was active for 2 solid days, then abruptly stopped. Checked gravity now at day 8 and is 1024.
Should I try rousing/warming it up? I have an IPA that I'm about to transfer to keg that I used wlp051 CaliV and I'm wondering if I should transfer the Hefe onto that cake. Does this sound reasonable?
