I'm looking for advice on how to save my 1st big brew.
I tried my hand at an Scaldis extract clone (OG of 1.12) on 2/13
I don't have the recipe on hand but I think it was around 10-12lb of extra light DME.
Due to timing constraints and being a newb I only pitched 1 smack pack of WY 1388XL. Considering this is supossed to have a FP of 1.02 I severly underpitched.
By the end of February it was still only at 1.072 and not moving down much so on 3/6 I pitched a pack of nottingham (rehydrated)
Fast forward to last week (3/20) and yesterday (3/27) and I received two identical readings of 1.06
While the beer is still slightly sweet its quite drinkable but my question is what can I do to continue to drop the gravity at this point?
would pitching some champaigne yeast help or and additional pack of notty?
The other question is since I'm not at my FG if I were to bottle, even considering the stable gravity readings from the last two weeks, am I at risk of bottle bombs?
I've been in the primary for about 6 weeks now but I'm afraid to move it into secondary for fear of losing what active yeast I have.
Thanks for all the help guys!
