I am brewing a smoked porter that had a starting gravity of 1.074 using white labs american ale yeast blend WLP060. I did not make a starter and used only 1 container of yeast which is 35 ml. After 5 days of fermentation I checked my gravity and it was 1.010 on the 8th day of fermentation I checked and it was still 1.010. I did try and shake up the brew bucket to hopefully reactivate the yeast so Im waiting to see if that helped. If the gravity doesn't change what would my options be at this point? Pitch more yeast or `is it too soon to bottle? I guess I don't know what happens if you bottle when there is still sugars to be fermented in the beer. I can and will probably wait another week. Typically Im brewing IPAs that are around the the 5% range and I have not brewed a beer that could be in the 8-10%. Many times in 7 days my fermentation is completed and i start bottling, but this is a bigger beer.
