This is the 4th or 5th time I've brewed an RIS with O.G. 1.092 and expected F.G. around 1.020. Activity seems to have stopped a few days ago (fermentation with a starter began 10 days ago), and I racked it to a secondary. When I measured the gravity, I found it is at 1.040!
Some ideas...maybe the starter didn't have enough cells and the yeast attenuated too quick, or perhaps the colder nights lately may have stopped fermentation prematurely.
Is 1.040 high enough that I could just buy another vial of California Ale Yeast Wp001) and pitch it to the secondary?
Would love to hear ideas, so my stout isn't too sweet!
