I'm starting to get frustrated. I've been brewing for 3 years, and I haven't run into too many problems that didn't work themselves out eventually if left alone. However, I have two beers now that seem to be either stuck or just fermenting at a snails pace. The first is an IPA that's been fermenting for almost 8 weeks now and is still bubbling, but the hydro reading has been around 1.020 for awhile, perhaps it's creeping down a bit.
I've also got a batch of Ed's Haus Pale Ale that has been fermenting for over 4 weeks and has a hydro reading of 1.021 and there is still a little bubbling going on in the fermenter. Each beer started out in a cooler at around 65 degrees for two weeks, and then I took them out and let them sit at around 73. I've never had a fermentation take this long, and now it's two beers in a row. Different yeasts as well.
Any thoughts?
