Hey guys. Looks like my fermentation has stopped a bit early. Looking back on it I'm pretty sure I underpitched, fermented way too warm, and possibly under aerated (all of which will be fixed from now on.) I brewed the Dreadnaught recipe listed here from BYO, but I did 2.5 gallons BIAB so the total below need cut in half.
Dreadnaught clone
(Three Floyds Brewing Co.)
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.084 FG = 1.021
IBU = 100 SRM = 11 ABV = 8.1%
Ingredients
16.25 lbs. (7.4 kg) American 2-row pale malt
1.25 lbs. (0.57 kg) melanoidin malt (27 °L)
8.0 AAU Warrior hops (60 mins)
(0.53 oz./15 g of 15% alpha acids)
8.0 AAU Simcoe hops (60 mins)
(0.62 oz./17 g of 13% alpha acids)
8.0 AAU Centennial hops (45 mins)
(0.72 oz./20 g of 11% alpha acids)
8.0 AAU Centennial hops (30 mins)
(0.72 oz./20 g of 11% alpha acids)
8.0 AAU Cascade hops (15 mins)
(1.6 oz./45 g of 5.0% alpha acids)
1.5 oz. Cascade whole hops (dry hops)
1 tsp. Irish moss (15 mins)
Wyeast 1968 (London ESB)
0.75 cups corn sugar (for priming)
Step by Step
This is a single infusion mash at 159 °F (71 °C) for 60 minutes. Boil the wort 90 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the ingredient list. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C).
Hit my OG of 1.084, after 10 days hydrometer said 1.034, after 17....1.034. Is there anyway to restart it, or should I just throw in the dry hops and go from there?
