Gravity stuck at 1.020, kegged anyway...

[EricK The Red]

I transferred my IPA to secondary about two weeks ago and it read 1.020 then. I went to keg it today with some priming sugar and the reading is still 1.020.


I racked it onto the priming sugar anyway, it'll be in a keg so no risk of bottle bombs. Will it finish up OK in the keg?

Depending on what the OG was, it may be finished at 1.020.

If it's not finished, it will finish fine in the keg. Once nice thing about kegging like that is that you can easily shake the bejeebers out of the keg to keep the yeast going. You may have a good bit of yeast sediment on the bottom, but that should clear up after your first pint or so.

It will be fine. It may be a bit more malty than you want it to be, but the beer itself will be just fine.

I have a sweet imperial stout on tap now that finished at 1.022 and it's great on tap!

Thanks all! This is my 2nd IPA and the first finished at about 1.012 with an OG of 1.042.

I'll let it condition in the keg 'till the end of the month.
