I am brewing a pumpkin ale for my wife, and as it is a new recipe, I checked the gravity a little earlier than I normally would have. The OG was 1.058 and I pitched a pack of US 05 on top when the wort hit 78 F. I then cooled it to 68 F and fermentation took off! Now, 4 days later, airlock bubbling has stopped and it's reading about 1.024. The BF calculator was estimating an FG of 1.010. The recipe is as follows:
Steeping:
0.5 lb Caramel 60
0.5 lb Roasted Barley
1 lb Vienna Malt
Boil: (60 min)
6 lb Extra Light DME
0.5 lb molasses
0.5 lb brown sugar
3 lb pumpkin
Hops:
1 oz Nugget, 14.1 % AA (60 min)
1 oz Nugget, 14.1 % AA (30 min)
Whirlfloc tablet at 45 min
I know that extracts can lower expected FG at times, but this seems way off. If it makes a difference, I added the pumpkin into the fermentables section with a PPG of 1 (just based on checking online). Am I just being impatient or do I have a stuck fermentation?
