    Stuck Fermentation? or something else?

    if im not satisfied with where Im at, if it is in fact finished, would it be possible to add a higher attenuating yeast, such as nottingham, to get it down a little more? Id like to get up to 5% ABV ideally.

    Stuck Fermentation? or something else?

    thanks. ill give it a week before checking again. I also got the advice from a friend to stir it up to get the yeast from the bottom back in suspension as well. I'll try that too and post back in a week.

    Stuck Fermentation? or something else?

    looking for pumpkin wheat recipe without pumpkin

    Does anyone out there have a good pumpkin wheat ale recipe that DOESN'T use pumpkin? From what I've read out there, the actual pumpkin yields little flavor to the beer and can be a pain to work with having to cook it and everything. But I'm afraid to take a recipe that uses pumpkin along with...

    thanks rellot. ive decided to forgo the pumpkin and just go with the pumpkin spices. now, to find a recipe. all the recipes i find online include pumpkin. can you just use any of these recipes and leave out the pumpkin? or does the recipe need to be different if you are omitting the pumpkin?
