So I brewed an imperial russian stout ~3 weeks ago. I found an all grain recipe, and converted it to an extract/partial mash recipe. The OG came out to 1.098, and right now its stuck at 1.030. There hasn't been any activity in the past week, and its clear.
I used:
10 lbs light DME (instead of 16.5 lbs 2 row)
2 lbs amber malt
1.25 lbs roasted barley
1.25 lbs black malt
1 lb oatmeal
Mashed (biab) at 150 for 60mins
Boiled for 90 mins with 1.7oz warrior hops
And as far as yeast, I used Wyeast 1968 London ESB. I used 2 packets and a 1.5L starter.
This yeast is highly flocculent, so I'm wondering if it either stalled before it was done, or if the extract caused it to not finish. The FG is supposed to be ~1.02.
I'm considering adding some amylase enzyme to get it to finish, but I only want to do that if its done fermenting with unfermentables and not stalled.
What should I do? I can always just keg it and enjoy it as is
Edit:
As far as temperature, I started it at ~66-68 degrees, kept it at 66 or so the first week, then rose it to 70 gradually and kept it there as activity slowed.
