Brewed an all-grain 'wee heavy' a few weeks ago. Hit all the targets, so I was pretty confident.
SG = 1.084
FG should have been 1.019-23, but it stuck at 1.032. Tried rousing the yeast and a wee temperature increase but to no avail.
Two days ago I racked to secondary and pitched in some very fresh WLP028 (same yeast as in initial fermentation). As I was only 10-12 points off FG, I pitched straight from pouch rather than use a starter.
However there has been no action whatsoever. No airlock activity or bubbles on the surface of the wort.
With only a little fermentation away from FG, should there have been noticeable activity? Or is it likely that the new yeast have flocculated already as the old yeast may have left markers indicating the wort ain't worth the hassle?
