Looking for advice.
I found the ingredients for an American pale ale that I bought 8 months ago and never got around to brewing. I decided to try use them anyway but I had a few problems. First off: I only achieved an original gravity of 1.033 (was aiming for at least 1.045). I was also unable to get the wort as cool as I'd like. The weather was very warm and my wort chiller just wouldn't bring it below 75F.
It's been fermenting now for seven days with no airlock activity. There was a bit of foam on top for the first few days but now there is none. The temperature is currently 70F.
My question is: is it worth bottling or should I just toss it out and start a new brew?
