hi guys, i brewed up a batch of chocolate milk stout about two weeks ago. the yeast i used was a nottingham dry yeast. i looked into my fermenting container today and saw this: is this an infection? i've only brewed twice before this and haven't seen anything like this in those past two...

just took another reading and it is at 1036 at 20C...I am assuming it is a stalled fermentation since it dropped only 1 point in 5 days...I shook the fermenting container a bit to get the yeast roused up again so maybe that will help...

The OG started out at 1066 at 24C...36 hours later it was at 1038 at 24C(1 bubble per second)...24 hour hours after that, it was at 1037 at 24C(1 bubble per 5 seconds)...I really hope it's not stalling...I know it's only been a few days so I guess I'll wait it out and hope for the best... =) Oh...

I will be brewing this same kit today, but will be adding a pound of lactose in addition to all the kit ingredients...planning to add cocoa and coffee after the primary to make this a mocha latte oatmeal stout...I hope all turns out well.. One question..the addition of malto will raise FG...
