Hello everyone! I am new to homebrewing, completing my third batch. With this batch I used 9.9 lbs of extract and 4 pounds of honey (1.084 original gravity). I left in the primary for ten days, and then racked to the secondary. After two more weeks in the secondary, my sg is at 1.032 (61% attenuation). I used Muntons Gold dry yeast. So, are the reasons for this stall (there is no current evidence of fermentation): 1)the yeast simply gave out to soon 2)I needed yeast nutrients because of the honey comprising 28% of the sugars 3)honey takes longer to ferment so I need to wait longer 4)all of the above.
Also, could I repitch? If so, should I make a starter?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned from the wisdom of you all!!
