General Homebrew Discussion / Secondary fermentation

« on: December 19, 2012, 05:38:20 pm »

This is my 2nd brew ever and I can't get hydrometer reading below 1.02. I transferred to secondary tonight.  Can I add new yeast to brew?  Also can u add water to bring up to 5 gal level?  I didn't stir layer of stuff on bottom of bucket which I understand my reactivate yeast. It tasted ok but supposed to be 1.01 to 1.015

General Homebrew Discussion / Slowed Fermentation

Help - fermentation at day 9 seems to have stopped.  Took 2 readings in 2 days and stuck at 1.02.
Beggining was 1.052.  Should I rack to secondary, stir, leave alone???  Some small bubbles on top but everything seems to have certainly settled down.  Ending gravity supposed to be 1.01-1.012
