Hi all,
Brewed a DIPA, which coincidentally, was a brew day from hell. SG was 1.080, was supposed to be 1.072-76, and pitched a reharvested WLP001 starter (used stir plate). Its been 2.5 weeks and I'm fairly certain I'm stuck at 1.030 after taking my 2nd sample last night.
Putting this in beginners thread as this is my 1st experience with a potentially stuck fermentation. It tastes fine, good actually, like a good DIPA should taste....wondering what I could/should do at this point. I haven't dry hopped yet, which I plan to do:
Should I pitch another WLP001 starter in primary? Shake?
If I'm stuck, how should I handle the 3-4oz of hops I had planned to dry hop with (which was to be this week)?
Other suggestions?
Thanks!!
