Ok so after taking advice from the forum i swapped out the yeast from my woodfordes nog kit for a pack of safale s04. After preparing the wort i rehydrated the yeast and drizzled it across the surface of the aerated wort. For the first 36 hours the bubbles in the airlock were flowing fast but then it slowed to a crawl. Its been in the FV at 18c +/- 1 for 10 days now, ive just taken a sample and measured at 1.020 from a sg of 1.042. Since the bubbles slowed i have on occasion turned the FV gently back and forth as suggested to get a little more of the yeast into suspension.
The wort/beer looks smells and tastes fine with no signs of infection. Just some small brown yeast floaters which were also present in my previous wherry brew.
Im thinking at this point i should leave it for a couple of days then take another sample and measure. If measure is the same should i just accept it and keg-prime-clear or add the yeast i took from the kit to see if i can restart it?
All suggestions welcome
Cheers Steve
