I did up a NEIPA from a kit I got on NB called Fruit Bazooka. This is my first NEIPA so I figured I'd just get a kit so I don't need to think about it too much. Brew day was May 25 and I pitched yeast that day. The yeast is something I never used before White Labs WLP644 Saccharomyces Bruxellensis Troi. I am fermenting warm per the instruction outside of my temp controlled freezer at around 74.
I added the first dry hop on 6/2 thinking the fermentation had stopped. The hops all stayed at the top because gas was still coming to the top. I made a habit of swirling it after work every day to get the hops mixed in.
I got samples with the wine thief
OG on brew day 5/25 - 1.054
Move to secondary on 6/2 - 1.016
first dry hop 6/8 - 1.012
curiosity 6/12 - 1.011
curiosity 6/17 - 1.010
second dry hop 6/26 - 1.006
I have not seen a fermentation go this long. I have been worried that wild yeast is the culprit but the wort tastes good and sweet and delicious.
I think I'm suffering from lack of patience but I'm wondering if this is something about the yeast or something else.
I oxygenate my wort with a stirring stick attached to a drill (kinda like a paint mixer) that is used to degas wine.
