Need some help guys, bottled the ghost ship clone yesterday, which had fermented out nicely from 1.043 down to 1.010.
Now the Christmas beer has stopped at 1.023. This was using the same yeast and was stored next to the other. Normally I would be definitely thinking its a stuck ferment but because it was a made up recipe with other "stuff" in it I just wanted to get some more knowledgeable perspectives...
It started at 1.060.
1000g maris otter
100g crystal
100g chocolate malt
50g wheat
3g northern brewer- 60 mins
50g dried cranberries- 60 mins
Flame out
50g dried cranberries
3 crystalised ginger in syrup (including some of the syrup)
I have swirled it lightly and pitched some fresh yeast to see if that helps, also moved it into a much warmer environment as my normal place is currently about 17 degrees. Also going to add in some cinnamon syrup later as I was going to use this for bottling but might as well see if it helps it ferment out. Didn't taste sickly sweet although the cranberries have given it a bit of a acidic twang at the end so not sure what its going to be like to drink anyway...
