  • Stopped ferment

    We had a ferment that got too cold and stopped about .08 gravity from where it needs to be. Any suggestions?

    Heat it up... check out this thread or this one, for ideas. If you don't let it finish your likely to have a butter bomb.

    Is it crashed, or just a few degrees too cool? Whats your glycol setup like?

      If you have the space, you could brew another and split them into two fermenters. Cool the new wort a tad warmer so they mix to a good temp.
      Or, if you succeed in warming the fermenter, it could help to add a bit of vigorously fermenting wort with yeast that "has had a few cups of coffee" to take over for your first yeast that seems to have gone to bed for the night.

        Perhaps that is where that particular batch wants to stop (limit attentuation issue -> mashing regime?).... Do you do limit attentuation tests?
