I don't think I've ever had a stuck fermentation, most start in the 1.050 range and stop around 1.015 or so. This one is a week old, started at 1.052 and a week later is sitting at 1.026. Unfortunately we were gone for 3 days over the holiday weekend and when we returned the fermenter was in the low 60s. I've brought the temps back up to high 60s and stirred the wort to mix up the yeast but nothing seems to be happening.
Here are the particulars:
6.5 gallon batch
OG Brix 13.25 SG 1.052
1 week later: Brix 9.0 SG 1.026 (Refractometer corrected)
Yeast White Labs Irish Ale WLP004
The current SG seems awfully high. I did get a nice krausen with action the first 1-2 days. It was started with a 900 ML starter which had a OG of 1.040.
What do you guys think?
