I'm brewing a cascade pale ale biab and post boil sg was 1.043.
When I started fermentation I only had pretty old packets of safale 05. The expiry was november but I always had them fridged.
Anyways, the fermentation was a bit slow to take off. It was a full day before I saw any bubblng and the floculation on top was slow so during this time I put in another packet of the same vintage. It got started and was only strong for a few days and by day 4 and 5 it was very weak. I gave it a few shaked to try wake it up but not much happening. It's day six now so I took some sg reading and it's a tick above 1.02. I have fermenting fridge and have had the brew steady on about 19degC.
Not sure what do now but hope it takes off again somehow...
If anyone has a feel for this situation and can recommend something that would be great.
