Hi folks,
I am completely worried. I did my first batch two weeks ago, and after one week I siphoned the content of the first batch from it fermenter to a secondary fermenter without reading its gravity. After I throw all the yeast from the first fermenter, I read the gravity and found it was 1.025. I tried to save this repitching yeast, but after 3 days of rep itching nothing happens, and today I measure its gravity and it is still 1.025. (OG 1.043 - IPA)
I did a second batch of an American Premium lager, and after 10 days, it is still on 1.025. Originally it was 1.048, and I layered it at 53ºF ~ 59ºF.
I did a third batch, a Samuel Adams Boston Clone, and after 5 days, it is also at 1.026. It is on 66ºF~69ºF.
My main concern is that all the batch show no activity at all, and I think that in one week those gravities will be the same.
What should I be doing bad? 3 different batches, all with the same gravity 1.026!!
I have been doing starters typically 1liter with 150gr of DME and letting in a stir plate at least for 12 hours. It is suppose to growth enough yeast for the batches.
Additionally, I did not aerate the first two batches, but the last one was very aerated, and it is also in the same 1.026!!
All batches uses different yeast, I am using Nothingham, Saflager US-05 and Mauribrew Lager.
Do I have to wait? If waiting and nothing happens? What is my next step? How can I ensure my next yeast pitching will work??
Regards,
Kenneth
