I was having a stuck fermentation on my first All grain/BIAB brew using Northern Brewer's Fruit Bazooka IPA. Original Gravity started at 1.057, went down to ~ 1.035 and pretty stayed there even after 14 days. Target gravity ~ 1.005. My ferrm temp was 77F and first thing I did was to bump the temp to 82F. Things started to bubble again, but pretty infrequently, and gravity numbers are starting to change however slowly.
Decided to add a yeast starter using the original WLP644 Saccharomyces Bruxellensis Trois - White Labs Yeast. Went through all the motions of creating the starter (first time) and added 400mL of starter. (I am doing a 2.5G batch). After adding the starter, I realized I had mixed by yeasts up and used WLP300 Hefeweizen Ale Yeast - White Labs!!!! I reduced my ferm temp from 82 to 72 to accommodate the yeast.
I know this Hefeweizen yeast is supposed to impart Banana kind of flavors, but to an IPA??? Have I totally ruined this?
