Brewed an irish stout (10 lb pale Malt (2 Row) UK, 2lb Chocolate Malt, 2lb roasted barley, 2 lb Chocolate Malt, and 1 lb White Wheat Malt. Mashed at 156 steady, and ended with OG of 1.070. I pitched a single smack pack of Wyeast Irish Ale 1084, with no starter. which I now understand to be waaaay underpitched.
It's been nearly three weeks, and my final gravity is only down to 1.040, well below the target of .020.
ABV is only 3.94%; I was hoping for something closer to 5%.
Is it still possible to pitch additional yeast and restart fermentation? If so, what yeast?
