So back on 6/20, I brewed up a high gravity ale and have since been having some fermentation issues. My OG was 1.095. I used WLP051 cal ale yeast. I made a starter a week or so ahead of time and stepped it up a couple times before brew day, and pitched on the aerated, cooled wort. After 3 weeks, gravity was 1.051. Frustrated, I pitched a pack of us-05 to try and get the gravity down. Nothing really happened, after another 2 weeks, gravity was 1.051. So, after reading some advice from other threads here, I made a pale and racked this beer onto that cake. Although, admitedly, I have not talen a gravity reading yet (that was 3 weeks ago), there has been zero signs of fermentation. I do plan on taking a reading later today. Any ideas on what to do to get this beer down to its projected gravity of 1.017? grain bill is:
14lb 2-row
1lb 2oz carafa II
1lb 2oz crystal 60L
4oz carapils
4oz white wheat
2lb corn sugar in boil
mashed for 75 minutes at 149F
fermented at 68F, although after I racked on cake, I left it at room temp ~ 75F
sorry for the long post, just figured more details=more suggestions
Thanks
