Help needed

[jimbo1982]

I have a tom caxton best bitter on the go at the moment and it seems to be stuck. Starting gravity was 1044 and seems to be stuck at 1012ish. Temp has been between 18-20 degrees but I did notice a drop to 17 degrees when I got up this morning. It's been in the fv for 8 days. I have some wilko yeast nutrient and some wilko gervin ale yeast. Would it be worth adding one of these or both? Also not sure what this kit normally gets down to. Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Jim

I would just get it back to 20 and leave it alone for another week.

At 1012 it's not stuck, it's finished...or almost finished. What were you expecting? Most brews finish around 1012-1010 - just leave it a bit longer to be sure.

FG of 1.012 is good, leave it a couple of days

I gave the fv a gentle swirl to get the yeast back in suspension and the airlock started up again. Been showing signs for a few days now so will take another sample later. I'm expecting it to be closer to 1010 now.

So you asked for people's advice they gave if and you ignored it. Why bother?

Did you take the time to register just to say that or can we look forward to some positive posts from you in the near future?

I also looked at older posts for advice as well as posting. I would never ignore advice given by the kind folk on this forum. Thanks for your input though it was really helpfull!
