Thanks for the responses. Its a new thermometer (2nd brew only) so that could be the cause. The first brew was ok and it was the same mash temp (65.5, dropping to 64 after 75 minutes)I get that there needs to be a "cause" but this is the first time I'd used that yeast so wasn't sure if it was prone to floc out early and stop. Some yeasts are more touchy than others. If I'd pitched 2 packs of Nottingham and it stopped I'd be more confident that was a far as it was going to go. I've increased the temp to 22 and will give it a rouse daily and see how it goes.I did think about doing a forced ferment test in the stir plate as well but in the current cold weather temperature control might be problematic.If it doesn't move I think I'll just throw a packet of nottigham at it.
