Hi all i have a brewmakers best of British Old london porter on the go.
Its been in the fv for 13 days now and seems to be stuck.
a few days ago i tested it and it was stuck at 1.016 for 3 days, so after reading some
posts on here i decided to give it a gentle stir and give it another two days.
Checked again today and its maybe dropped to 1.015, at most 1.014.
Should i stir again or just give it more time or is it ready to be transfered to corney for conditioning?
Its strange as all my kits only take max 10 days and drop to 1.008-1.010. but this being a two can kit that i was brewing specially for christmas goes and gets stuck just my luck :evil:
Any advice will be much appreciated :thumb:
 
It might be finished.
I'd check your hydrometer in clean water at the correct temp to check it reads 1.000. Mine reads 2 to 3 points high.
Don't know if I like the idea of trying to rouse yeast at 13days.

I trust the fermentation temp is ok?
 
Thanks for the reply.
I think my hydrometer is ok but i will check it. and the temp of the brew is around 19c as its in the kitchen.
 
You wouldn't be far off there at 1014 for a porter beer. Don't stir it just give it few more days and keg it. :cheers:
