I have a buddy who has a few solo brews under his belt and I'm trying to help him out. I'm going to outline what he's shared and the information I've gleaned and where I've hit a wall. I'm hoping he will register and answer your questions first hand. Thanks in advance for your help.
He's brewing a Russian Imperial Stout with an expected ABV of 7.75-8.25.
Recipe was
6.6 lbs Dark LME
2 lb. Dark DME
8 oz maltodextrin
Steeped
8 oz Cara 60L
8 oz Roasted Barley
8 oz Black Patent
Hops
1 oz Columbus-bittering
.5 oz Cascade Aroma
Yeast
Safale s-04
On Saturday -brewday- he forgot to steep the Roasted and Patent malts and he added extract so in separate pot he steeped roasted and patent and then added and then rebrought to boil. I don't think this is related but just going for full disclosure.
He forgot to take an original SG reading.
24 hours later he had nothing. At 36 he had a bomb on his hands with beer spewing out of airlock. He put a blowoff hose over opened airlock for a day and it quieted down. He put the airlock back on and now tonight.....nothing.
Not a bubble not a squeak. He took a gravity reading and it is 1.070. Temperature is a steady 68 degrees.
Does he have a stuck fermentation? Where does he go from here? What other information do you need?
Thanks in advance
