I am brewing a high gravity beer OG 1.113 and I believe the fermentation is super stuck. I brewed it about a month ago and the gravity right now is 1.078 (19 plato). After a couple weeks of trying to get it to ferment more (shaking, adding more yeast...it's Wyeast trappist yeast, btw) I aerated it with an o2 stone for 30 minutes per packaging recommendation. That gave it a nice foamy head so I figured it'd be well aerated. I did this on two separate occasions actually and shook the sh*t out of it on two separate occasions as well. 5 gallon batch.
I brewed this high gravity of a beer w/ too few yeast cells, I'm well aware...I actually pitched only 2 packs of wyeast trappist at the beginning. After the fermentation was stuck I pitched 1 more package.
Should I pitch more yeast and re-aerate? I hope this beer doesn't go to waste!
Thanks! Sorry for the noob-move :/
