I made a 5 gallon batch on memorial day. Pitched the dry (didnt reconstitute) yeast, maybe a tad higher temp than i should of, and now i dont think it is fermenting anymore.
At 24 hour mark it was going crazy, 48 hr still going but by the 3rd day it appeared to die down almost 100%. Been this way frlm Thurs till now.
Nothing appears to be happing anymore.
Should i pitch new yeast and hope for the best, this time reconstitute it first?
Thanks

Chances are your beer is already done.
Take a hydrometer reading to verify. It may need another week to "condition out," which is fine. Do not rack to a secondary, leave in the vessel it's in.
After a week take another reading. If it matches the one from now, AND it's at or near your expected final gravity (FG), your beer is ready to package.
