My grain bill was:

3lbs 2 row
4lbs white wheat malt
1lb Carafoam
2lbs Light Munich

.5 mt hood (aroma)
.5 mt hood (bittering)

2 vials of WLP320 Amer Hefe

It was supposed to have a OG of 1.043 and FG of 1.012. I was able to reach 1.045 before i added the yeast. After day 7 of primary fermentation my beer is at 1.029. The problem with this batch was my fiance wanted to keep the windows open and the temp was difficult to keep at 70-72 degrees. For the most part the beer was fluctuating between 70-78 degrees throughout the day.

I plan on adding my watermelon juice to the wort today or tomorrow. Last time i made this the yeast reactivated to munch on the watermelon sugars. Do you think that will bring the gravity reading to where its supposed to be?
