My fiancé and I have been homebrewing for about 3-4 years now and have about 30-40 batches under our belt. Fermentation of our most recent batch (MoreBeer all-grain Pliny clone) seems to have stalled a tad. We had a OG of 1.079 (a bit higher than expected), but after two weeks, has stalled at 1.024 after testing three days in a row.
We mashed at 149* and fermented for a week at 67* before raising to 70* for a week. We pitched a 1.6L starter of WLP090 (San Diego Super). The yeast was a 4-5th generation though. When we make starters, we usually make more than we need and pull ~400mls for our next starter.
I would've hoped for an FG more closer to 1.015-ish. This one just never got the krausen we typically get with WLP090. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the gravity down to 1.015-ish??? Would it be worthwhile to toss a pack of US-05 in and raise the temp to 72*?
Thanks!!!
