Sticky resin

Hey everyone! It's been about 4 years since I've been actively home brewing and I just recently got back into it. My last batch was a generic lager that I bottled and handed out with custom labels announcing the birth of my twin boys, that was January 2013. I've got a week to go on a new...

Yup, pitch another starter. My Milk Stout has been stuck at 1.036 for 2 weeks. Just mixed up a starter a day and a half ago, and just pitched it today. Hoping it'll come down, but by all accounts, everyone I asked said that should do the trick. What you might want to do is, once the...

I'm having a similar situation. I re-pitched some yeast on Sunday, so I'll take a reading in a day or so once activity starts up again. This whole stalled fermentation thing sucks! LOL.

Thanks djsethall. Yes, it was a 5 gallon batch. It tasted really good @ 2 weeks. Now that it's been in the secondary for an extra week, I thought it tasted a little "off". But I'm afraid there is not much more I can do at this point. I do not know the specific type of yeast as it was just...

I started my (Brewer's Best) Milk Stout 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks in primary, 1 week in secondary. I have some concerns due to my gravity readings, and some added sugars that may have thrown everything off. Can you help? Ingredients: *Fermentables 6.6 lb. Special Dark LME .5 lb Lactose .5...
