This is my second batch of beer, an oatmeal stout. It is a Mr. Beer kit that produces 2.5 g using two cans of hme (hopped malt extract, not home-made explosive). I messed up putting the wort into the" keg" and about a cup to a pint of it went down the drain. Fortunately, this time around I had a hydrometer and my o.g. was 1.034. I know it's a bit low. I've read HTB. However, it's been sitting in the primary for 10 days and hasn't had any activity in the slightest bit since two days after the pitch (8 days if you can't do math). No bubbles, nothing. I took a hydro reading and it's at 1.018 right now. I tasted it and it has the exact same sweet taste that my. P.A. had after 17 days in the primary. Should I repitch some yeast to kick start? I know that stouts have more unfermentables, but this is still to sweet. What should I do?
