So I'm having trouble with the titular yeast, British Ale. The last batch I made with this yeast was 1.064 OG but only got down to 1.023 instead of 1.019. It was a good beer, though, so I just relaxed and drank it (still, it was a disappointment). I washed that yeast and am using it again, now with a batch that is 1.067 OG, again expected to end around 1.019 - fermentation slowed to about a bubble every 30 seconds or so around 1.032, so I added some yeast energizer and a quarter pound of honey yesterday to get it going again. It took off, but has since slowed down to a bubble every 20 seconds or so, with the SG currently at 1.026.
What do I need to do here? This damn beer better get beneath 1.020, but I'm thinking it isn't going to unless I can help it along somehow. Suggestions?
