Hello all
My latest brew is wet dogs hop hog clone.
1.5kg light malt
1.5kg wheat malt
1kg Light dry malt
200g crystal
Won't go into the hop schedule.
Used US05, didn't rehydrate(I know, poor practice)
Has been fermenting at 18 for 10 days. Had quite a long lag time, but once airlock started going bubbled for 6 days.
First reading was day 5 and 1026.
Took reading day 8, 9 and 10, and has been 1020 each time.
This gives an apparent attenuation of 68%.
Would I be right in thinking it's stuck?
Would I be best putting the temp up to 20 for a couple of days before cold crashing?
I have read more yeast can help with stuck fermentation, but needs to be done via a starter...I do have a spare bag of 05 in the fridge I could use, would be good if I got away without it though.
Cheers
