Possible stuck brew?

Southern Geordie · May 21, 2020

Afternoon all.

I've currently got a St Peter's Cream Stout kit fermenting. I stupidly forgot to take an SG however my FG hasn't moved from 1.011 for a couple of days.

Do you think this is stuck and i should bottle or should i try and repitch some yeast and leave it a couple of days?

It’s finished. 1.011 is a normal FG

Most kit beers ferment down to between 1.008 and 1.012 in my experience so while it’s towards the upper end if it has being staple for a few days I would say it’s done.

Also specs for this kit taken from one of the home brew shops suggest finishing gravity as anything below 1.014.

Basically it’s almost certainly done, with the warm weather we are having at the moment beer can ferment out very quickly,

Out of interest I am attempt to rack my brew for the first time. I can't seem to find the correct amount to sugar to add into the 2nd bin. Don't suppose anyone could help on that?

You can try brewers friend calculator

I prime individual bottles at about 3g sugar per bottle, so 120g for a 40 pint batch, for bitters and stouts (which going by brewers friend would give about 2.2 Volumes of CO2 which for me is about right.
