Hey all,
I've got my second batch ever in the fermenter. It's a Belgian ale. The original gravity was 1.071 and the target gravity is 1.014. The airlock stopped bubbling after 6 days and I haven't seen a blip since. Today is day ten.
I took a reading and the gravity is at 1.020. That seems pretty far off of 1.014, but I'm not sure if it's far or not. I guess I'll learn.
My question is... Is this brew done or stuck? I let it warm up through the range of acceptable temperatures. It was at 67* and I left it rise to 74* to see if anything would happen. Nothing did. I sampled what I pulled from the fermenter and it was pretty good, but seemed watery.
If it's stuck, what do I do?
Thanks for your help and anything you feel I should know...
