9 days ago I sent 5 gallons of pecan brown ale to the ferementor. It went in at 1.066 and with Safbrew S-33 it was supposed to finish at 1.017 for an abv of around 6.5% It has been fermenting at about 70F. I have been busy/lazy and just took a reading today. It is right at 1.030. Obviously, this is too far off the mark to bottle.
Is it possible that the ferementation is just going really slowly? Its hard to gauge b/c i dont have other readings to compare it to. And if it is stuck what should I do? I've heard swirling the ferementor to agitate the yeast can work, but perhaps I should repitch.
Any thoughts?
