argh, a stuck fermentation. I brewed up an all grain batch of Blonde Ale, re-using some WLP090 SD Super Yeast (3 cycle on the yeast). Fermentation started fine...continued fine, seemed to stop about the right time, but never cleared up. I've tried dropping the temp (in a converted fridge/fermentation chamber), I finally even added some US-05 I had.
all i can figure
1. I aerated when the wort was still warm (high 70's) before chilling to fermentation temp of 70. That might have squeezed out the O2?
2. I did not add any yeast nutrients (dumb mistake)
at this point, I can't aerate it (right?) but I suppose I could add some yeast nutrients, should I just boil and add? or?
Thanks,
Brian.
