I brewed a stout recipe and posted some questions:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/12-days-i-still-have-airlock-activity-111238/
This has been in primary for about 3 weeks (23 days to be exact).I am still at 1.020 after a total of about 10 days. Last Saturday I swirled the fermenter and brought the temperature up a bit to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. Flyangler18 commented that, because this was an extract recipe and I used Amber DME, that this may be the end of the road for the gravity dropping.
Am I safe to bottle without getting grenades?
