My brew has stopped fermenting, what do I do?If your fermentation appears to have stopped and your hydrometer reading isn't where it should be yet, there can be a number of causes. The most common cause is temperature. If the temperature has become too cool at some point during the ferment, the yeast will go dormant and sink to the bottom until it is warmed up and 'encouraged' to get back to work. To remedy this, the use of a heat belt/wrap/pad can be enough to warm your brew back to the correct fermenting temperature along with a gentle stir to get the yeast off the bottom and encouraging them to start eating sugars again. If the temperature has become too hot at some point during the ferment, the yeast could potentially have been killed. To remedy this, repitch another packet of yeast. Another common cause for stuck fermentation is underpitching yeast. If not enough yeast is pitched at the start of the brew (e.g. only 1 packet of dry yeast to an ale with an OG above 1.048), they may not be up to the task of consuming all of the sugars. To remedy this, either repitch another packet of yeast or provide some yeast nutrient. If none of these options result in the brew fermenting again, please get in contact with us by either messaging us via the chat button, emailing us at info@bigbubble.com.au or contacting us via the contact form on our home page so that we can help you solve your problem.
