Hi all,
I'm having a frustrating time with a stuck - or at least very slow - brew.
I'm brewing a wheat beer from a custom Geterbrewed kit.
During the first 2 days this fermented at such a rate that I had to construct a blow off tube.
The airlock carried on bubbling for a few days, but then quietened down. Then our boiler broke down - bad enough that we've had no heating or hot water but I'm worried it's spoilt my brew! The FV was sat at around 16c for a few days, but it didn't get much colder than that.
On day 9 I took a hydro reading - 1022 which was a lot higher than expected. I gently tilted the FV back and forth and got an aquarium heater to keep it at 22c.
I did see a little airlock activity the day after that but took a reading today (Day 11) and it's still at 1022.
I have a sachet of Wilko Gervin yeast, do you think I should try pitching that?
Any help or advice is much appreciated
Cheers
