Hi
I've recently made a Woodfordes NOG kit, I brewed this short from 40 pints down to 32. I have an immersion heater for maintaining fermenting temps, which was working wonderfully until I discovered it had been unplugged at some point during the 2 weeks in the primary FV. At this point it was around 14c. I measured the gravity and it came out at 1.018
I did take a gravity reading before fermeting but in my infinite wisdom thought that I would remember this... of course I don't (thinking it was around 1.060)
I've since plugged the heater in and it's having it's 3rd week in primary, hoping for the SP to drop a little.
If the SP remains at 1.018 after this third week what would be the advice....?
1. Bottle it
2. Pitch more yeast
3. something else
Thanks
