I'm brewing an old ale and moved to secondary (following the directions instead of reading here with regards to the need for the secondary) way too soon (no excuses, I simply screwed up).
2/22 - added yeast - OG 1.083
3/1 - moved to secondary and added oak and the final hops - gravity was 1.048
3/11 - checked the reading and it was 1.032
3/16 - reading is still at 1.032
The temperature is a constant 68F and the yeast was Wyeast 1099. Malt was 12 lbs of liquid and 1 of dry.
As I see it my options are: 1) wait longer and hope something happens while risking an overpowering of oak/hops
2) pitch new yeast into secondary or back in the primary to remove the oak and hops - possibly risking oxidization
3) bottle - possible risk creating some bombs
I'd love to hear your opinions - preferably in rescuing this brew and not on my stupidity
