So I recently brewed a 5 gallon partial mash ipa and everything went according to plan, but my fermentation stopped at 1.027. The OG was 1.055.for the partial mash, I used about 2.5 pounds of pale malt and little over a pound of various chrystal malts with an ounce of roast barley. I mashed at 155 for one hour then mashed out to 170 over a 10 minute period. I then brought to a boil and added 4 pounds of golden light dme and 6 ounces corn sugar at flame out.
For my yeast, I used danstar nottingham and made a 600 ml starter. My fermentation went very well as for the first 5 days there was a healthy kraussen and the temp held at 68. After that, the temp dropped to 64 and the gravity has held at around 1.027 for a week and a half now. Two days ago, I moved the beer to a warmer room and its now at 68 and the fermentation seems to have picked up a tiny bit. I plan on giving it another 3 days before I dry hop and another 4 after that before bottling. This would make it a total of 3 and a half weeks total fermentation time, if the gravity is still around 1.027 what would be the safe move? Bottle? I just dont want to ruin a whole batch by bottling at too high of a gravity, resulting in bottle bombs.
Hope someone can hep me out! It would be much appreciated!
