Okay so I decided to do an easy SMaSH with 2 Row and Cascade using an American Ae Yeast (I will get the specific strain tomorrow morning) and I seem to have hit a wall. I built this recipe because since o switched from extract to BIAB I have had only a handful of successful beers (I may just be too harsh on myself since all the neighbors seem to like the others).
Anyways, my OG was 1.064 and Beersmith was saying I should end up with an FG of approximately 1.011. Unfortunately all fermentation has stopped for about 7-8 days and it stopped at 1.041. That leaves me with around 3% which is half of what I was shooting for. I fermented at a constant 68* with little to no change in temperature. I mashed at 155*. Any help would be appreciated. Should I use some sort of nutrient to see if it'll kickstart them or just live with a 3% beer that is super sweet?
