So hydrometer reading 1011 so must have a leak in my fermenter somewhere. If it reads the same tomorrow i will dry hop then bottle on monday. (Is 10 days enough?) Thanks mate should of thought about taking hydro reading

Will take a reading in the morning and see if its started. I used m41 belgium ale yeast. And it was a high temp when i pitched but not over 28c i believe

So i made a belgium ipa following the same steps ive always taken. Pitched yeast and nothing has happened for 6 days. I figure the yeast is dead. I am wondering if i can throw in another pack of yeast. Or will my wort be ruined already?

If anyone is interested Final numbers OG: 1062 FG: 1013 Est Ibu: 48 Abv: 6.4% before bottle priming Tastes and smells great out of fermenter. Will try final product in a few weeks.
