Hello brewers!
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am very new to the brewing game, with only a few batches in the belt and all of them failures.
I'm trying to brew a porter, the recipe is here
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/713396/japan-chocolate-porter
As you can see, it had a very high OG of 1.080, but it seemed to be going well after I pitched. Lots of activity for a solid week, then it stopped bubbling. At that point, I took a gravity reading of 1.050, and again 3 days later and got the same result. I plan on leaving it in the primary for another week, then transfer to secondary to add cacao nibs for a couple days.
My question is, should I expect the gravity to reduce further if I just leave it as planned (even though I can't see any activity), or should I pitch again to help it along?
