Hi, everyone - bit of a newbie question, but I have c.20l batch of Dunkelweizen stuck at a FG of 1.018 (OG 1.046) - and I am pretty sure that this is because I added only 1 (instead of 2) Wyeast 3638 smack packs. I misread the recipe, though would add that the Wyeast pack said 1 pack was suitable for a 19l brew). I had no issues with the first week of fermentation (so think temperatures were all ok, oxygenation was fine) and everything was going great..... until it stalled. I have tried rousing the yeast and increased the temperature (which collectively got it from 1.022 to 1.018). It hasn't moved from here in about 3 days. So my question- if I add another smack pack of the same (activated, liquid) yeast - what do you think my chances are of getting down to somewhere near my (1.012) FG? Will the alcohol kill the new yeast? Any tips? Thanks in advance!
