Im fermenting an ale with American Ale 1272 and my gravity when from 1049 to 1024 within 4 days. ( 1 litre starter on stir plate for 2 days prior was pitched)
I decided to rack to secondary vessel because we got a lot of trub out of the kettle and we had big late hop additions and along with the cold break had a massive slurry on the base of the fermenter.
I hadn't racked to secondary before and I have had the FV at 20 degrees constant, checked SG when I racked 1024, 2 days later 1024 and last night still 1024???
You can see a yeast bed at the base so either my refractometer is broken or fermentation has stalled?
