Hi all,
Though I am not 100% sure yet, it is looking like I might have a stuck fermentation. One of the ways some people recommend restarting fermentation is to give the fermenter a swirl to kick the yeast back into suspension. While doing this is feasible with carboys, I have a stainless steel conical and swirling that will be nearly impossible (plus I have heard that the risks of introducing oxygen into the fermenter outweigh the benefits of swirling.) However, I was wondering if it would be feasible to kick the yeast back into suspension by using my carb stone to pump CO2 through my conical's bottom dump port. Thoughts?
