So I brewed Northern Brewer's Smashing Pumpkin Ale 2.5 weeks ago. This past Saturday I checked the gravity and it was 1.020 (OG was 1.055). I knew that was high so I swirled around my fermentor without splashing twice a day in the hopes that the yeast would get the remaining sugars. I checked tonight and it hasn't budged. What would you suggest I do? Bottling would result in a possible bottle bomb. I'm thinking of adding extract and some dry yeast.
Info: I did a starter the day before with stir plate of wyeast American ale. Also did a swamp bucket to keep temp around 69-72 degrees the first week (outside temp was around 90 in Cincy).
Thanks for your help!
