    Racking stuck beer on a different yeast cake

    I have an imperial stout that is stuck at 1.050. OG was 1.120 and i checked it two weeks ago and again today, still the same. I have a rye IPA that is about done, should i rack my stout onto this cake to see if it gets going again? I was hoping for 1.040 at the worst.

    To much head Space in carboy for big stout

    I was thinking about just leaving it in primary until its done and then bottling, thats what i usually do but i spent a lot on ingredients and it tastes freaking fantastic! If i do that i shouldnt have to worry about adding extra yeast when bottling either since im going to be at about 11.5% right?
