Cream Ale Gravity

[ttownbrew]

Last week I brewed a Genesee Cream Ale clone from extract. Some of you might remember I was concerned because my hops came out of the bag.

Ingredients:

4 lbs Muntons Light LME
2 lbs 6-Row American Pale Malt
2 lbs Flaked Maize
0.5 oz. Cluster hops (Bittering)
1 oz. Cluster hops (Finishing)
1 tsp. Irish moss
Wyeast 1056 American Ale

I have a question about gravity. My target OG was 1.50, I got 1.49, figured that was close enough. The target final gravity 1.08. 7 days in primary I seem stuck @ 1.10 after readings the past two nights.

So my question...is it finished fermenting? My plan now is leave it 2 more days and check it again. If 1.10 rack to secondary, if there is a change, wait a few more days. I think that is the plan you will all tell me to stick with, just wanted your thoughts.

Sounds like what I'd do!

If you want to give it a gentle rouse, that probably wouldn't hurt, either. At least, it's a little more peace of mind.

it's close enough for me... i'd let sit another week, then cold condition it for a spell. i think that is the cream ale's claim to fame.
