Howdy fellow brewers
Got a fat yak clone that I've done several times but this time it's stuck at 1020.
Recipe is coopers international IPA, 1.5kg liquid pale malt, 500g light dry malt and NS and cascade hops. Used 2 kit yeasts and yeast nutrient at 18.
Done this many times og 1054 fg 1012 every time. Both with kit yeast. And us05.
Been 2 weeks, fg was 1020 after day 9 which is unusual as its normally 1012 by then. So added yeast nutrient to kick start it. Got nothing after 48 hours so added another kit yeast I had lying around.
48 hours again and still 1020 maybe pushing 1018. Tested hydrometer in water and no problems there.
Any more ideas/solutions?
I dry hopped on day 9 so starting to worry I might get some grassiness if I don't keg soon but 1020 is to high for me.
Taste wise it doesn't taste overally sweet so not sure what is going on. Had a hefe stall at 1016 and that was much sweeter.
Cheers for the help.
