Triple Stuck fermentation

[Dave d]

My Brewferm Triple is stuck at 1020 now for the past 3 days and this is day 10 of fermentation. I followed all of the advice in the sticky to restart it with no luck apart from adding the beer enzyme, Ive added the yeast vit and pitched another yeast. Not too sure what way to proceed now the temp has been a constant 20 -25 deg and Ive add Muntons Beer Kit Ehancer as well as the Brewferms own yeast to make it. Also this is a high gravity beer OG 1075 and the intructions are generilsed and says it should finish at 1010 but its the same instructions for all the beers regardless of OG. Should I just bottle now.

Any advice appreciated

No expert on these but I think I read somewhere that this should have an fg of around 1.015 to 1.020. This will give you an abv of 7.3 - 7.5 in the ball park for a triple.

If fg is steady and it tastes ok then it is probably finished.

I doubt if that's stuck. I would say that a 1.075 kit beer has done reasonably well to get down to 1.020. Afterall, the quarter gravity point is 1.0185 so you're only 1.5 points off that.

With my AG beers I would expect a 1.075 to come down to about 1.017.

If it's been at 1.020 for a couple of days I'd bottle it.

It has finished.

1020 is bang on for this beer. I've brewed it twice.

Give the bottles 5 days indoors for secondary fermentation, then another 7 or 8 weeks in the shed to condition.

It is a classic!

Cheers!

Thanks for the respnse guys much appreciated. I wish Brewferm would put a bit mor effort into their instructions as its says 1010 but obviously this is too generilsed given the range they have. By the way what is a quarter gravity point ?

Also I plan I doing some more from the range is 1015 - 1020 what I should be aiming for, for high gravity kits is there any guidlines on this or general rules ?
