What to do now!!

Post by the red devil » Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:31 pm

Made a TT Landlord clone 8 days ago. After 2 days the head was gone :( thought something might be up but carried on. The starting OG was a little high at 1054 (must have got some good grains). Checked today and the SG is 1020 :? Should have been down to around 1015 by now. Not sure whether its going to get any lower, even if I leave it a couple more days.
What to do? Do I keg it anyway, and put up with the sweetness. Do I give it a bit of a stir and hope the yeast starts again. Should I add a little more S-04.
Please help :( :(

Is this the 1st hydrometer reading you have took at 1020? If so, give your brew another 24-48 hours & take another reading. I would not stir it yet, you may areate it if you do, not a wise move at this stage of the fermentation.

First reading, yes! I'll give it another check later tomorrow. Cheers
