So I tried to brew the pumpking clone receipe on brewer's friend. I always use yeast starters to make sure it's healthy. When I pitch my yeast, I always save a bit at the end to populate immediately for storage for the next brew. When I get to my next brew, I am basically already at my stage 1 starter. I used US-05 because it was the dry version of the liquid yeast recommended and it's just such a great yeast. I missed my target gravity, but it will still plenty high (1.079) for me because usually my brews finished lower that what recipes estimate. The starter looked nice and milky with a little bit of foam on top after about 48 hours. It was right around a 1.040 starter at 2L.
Well it was doing fine until it got down to around 1.061 and then it stalled. I have a tilt hydrometer in it. I looked in the beer and basically no activity. It has taken 3 days to get another .001. What are the cons to pitching more yeast in the beer? I already have my first step of my starter ready to go.
I have brewed with this yeast plenty of time with harvesting it, and this my first issue with fermentation getting stuck.
