Let me start out by saying in all my AG batches, I've never had one stall. I pitched a 2L starter of Wyeast 2565 (Kolsch) in 5gal of 1.066 wort on Sunday. Fermentation took off quickly as usual (60deg), and I had some blowoff. I normally don't take early gravity readings, but I took one last night for whatever reason and measured ~1.032. I obviously got a little antsy, so I checked again tonight and measured 1.030. Is this yeast really that slow, or has it stalled? I have used this yeast one other time a couple years ago and had no issues. I read all the posts talking about this being a slow yeast, but my gut tells me this is too slow. Let it go or would it be worth pitching another pack? I mashed at 154deg, use a thermapen, use temperature control for fermentation, and have checked my hydrometer.
