Hey all,
I brewed a stout a week ago with an OG of 1.085. It's 8 days later and my gravity is only 1.032. I used a Nottingham yeast packet (I wasn't expecting to get the efficiency that I finished with, otherwise I would've considered pitching more). It seems that my fermentation is stuck, as my calculations were expecting a FG somewhere in the teens. This is the biggest beer I've brewed thus far, and haven't had to deal with a stuck fermentation before. I've searched online and don't seem to get any straight answers. I was considering pitching Danstar CBC-1, as it's a strand that specifically deals with higher gravity and isn't supposed to impart any new flavors into the beer. Someone please give me some advice! Thanks -Brandon
