For the first time I decided to try a pack of dry east for fermentation (safale 04). The OG was 1.043. it’s been 9 days and has been stuck at 1.017 for 4 days now. I am looking for 1.010.
mash lasted a couple of hours and was rock steady at 152.
it’s fermenting under controlled temperature at 68.
I’ve always used liquid yeast before and am used to be within a couple points of the FG within 4-5 days.
So first of all, should I just wait some more? Seems like if I was gaining a bit everyday I would just wait but it’s not moved in 4 days.
Any suggestion otherwise as far as getting it going again, given I’m missing about 7 points and would rather not get liquid yeast and make a brand new starter (or is that really the only option?)
thanks for the help
