Well - this weekend, I had an IPA to brew that I was pretty excited about. Lots of hops, proven grain bill and everything in place.
The mash went well and I bypassed the gravity reading as it is a pain to stir, collect and chill the sample.
Got done with the boil and holy crap. my predicted gravity of 1.064 turned into 1.080. Went back and ran numbers - no mistake. manual calculation and beersmith jived.
I did not anticipate this and did not prepare a starter for my California V ale (WLP051) yeast. I hear it can be fussy.
In the event of a stall, what would be a good yeast to kick it back up? I might have pissed the yeast off and I want to finish at or about 1.015/
