My first batch to get stuck. A brown ale extract with grains. OG was 1.050 and used White Labs vial on brew day. Everything looked good, nice activity in air lock, descent krausen. After 1wk moved to secondary and was surprised to see gravity of 1.022, but continued to see activity in the air lock so didn't think twice.
2 weeks in secondary and I move to bottling bucket, gravity is still 1.020.
Racked back to a clean and sanitary secondary, made a pint starter with new vial of white labs, next day the starter is roaring so I pitched.
2 days later I'm still at least 1.018. I'm going to check again in a day or two. Pro Mash estimates FG of 1.012.
Anyone ever had a batch that just wouldn't get to your expected FG? What else can I do? When is it ok to bottle?
