Hi folks, looking for some opinions or advice on fermentation.
made up a coopers cerveza, starting gravity 1.052 and it fermented like a beast right down to 1.006 after 1 week, using normal coopers yeast.
and.....
made a stout extract, starting gravity 1.050, using s04, checked this after 8 days and its only reached 1.020, its still giving me 4% but i expected it to ferment to at least 1.010.
i had both fv's sitting in a water bath each with aquarium heater and both have been just under 21 degrees.
do the extract's take a bit longer to ferment out or is this a stuck fermentation? ive gave the stout a light rouse to try and get the yeast to ferment down a few more points but was surprised to have such different results with a supposed better yeast.
