Sadly I'm making another post about a stalled high gravity beer. I reused a 6 week old San Diego super yeast strain into a 1.108 OG beer. It took about 3 days for fermentation to begin and I was getting super worried and then it took off. Airlock s popped and a mess everywhere until I setup a blow off tube. Then things wound down and it appears to have stalled at 1.044 where I'm hoping to get to around 1.025. I should have had plenty of yeast using the slurry calculators with conservative estimates. I used 1min 02 transfers at 1L/min on day 0,day 1,and 24 hours into active fermentation. I've roused the yeast a few times now and have raised the temp to the top of the recommended range (68F),but it seems to be stalled.
So any suggestions on what to do next?
My first thought is to buy another vial and get a large starter built up with yeast nutrient. Repitch and give it another shot of O2.
Second idea is to just make a similar lower gravity beer and blend the two.
