I had been taking regular SG readings and the plot was indicating that my FG was going to be higher than originally forecast using Brewer's Friend, perhaps 1.011 for the FG compared with the software forecast of 1.007.
So, i started the D-rest early and now, after 5 days of d-resting, I tested the SG and it's 1.017 - not even close to the new target FG! The chart now suggests the FG might actually be ~1.016!?!
Is this a stuck fermentation? Should I repitch even though all I have is US-05 in the fridge? Or do I just go ahead and lager in the secondary as yeast attenuation estimates are just that, estimates?
To complicate matters, I threw in my dry hops on the second day of d-resting so they've been in there for 4 days already. Damn.
