... And yes I now have an opinion

Got stuck at 1.026. Moving it to somewhere warm to see if that moves things along

Spent lots of time oxygenating, both packs swelled well and I pitched at around 72F. The batch was already active 4 hours after pitching. The activity died down after 4 days. I think the reason that I'm stuck is that I decided to try my first transfer to secondary to dry-hop. I usually listen...

All extract mad scientist. LME and DME hops (Galena/Cascade) 2x wyeast smack packs.

Extract IPA 19l/5gal wyeast 1056, brewing in cellar at constant 63F OG 1.064 SG 1.030 day3 SG 1.026 day6 SG 1.026 day12 and clearing I was expecting to hit 1.016. Measuring with hydrometer. Now it's Easter weekend in Switzerland. No LHBS, and shops are now shut till Tuesday, so I'll have to...

Wyeast 1056. Should bring me down to 1.016 but I'll take a couple of readings in 2 weeks when I should be bottling

I'm brewing an extract IPA in my cellar which has a steady cool 63-64F temperature. The plan was to leave it 7 days in the primary, rack to secondary (to dry hop) and leave to condition for 14 days b4 bottling. I actually racked a little earlier than originally planned. To let the final...

My starter equipment kit came with two fermentation buckets, both with spigots. I just racked to secondary to dry-hop through the spigot too (will try without the secondary next time). You will still need some tubing from the spigot to the bottom of the second fermenter - you don't want to...
