Happy Thanksgiving everyone....ok here`s my situation ,started a rjs black forest port style kit on 11/20,SG was 1.120 temp was 71....my plan was to step feed corn sugar in 3 steps of 300 grams apiece...first one was at day 5,gravity was 1.045 before the feeding...after it ,rose to 1.054 ,76 degrees....day 6 (here is where the problem begins)gravity was 1.022 temp 74,gave another feeding PLUS 3 tsp of fermax warmed up in a shot glass with water.gravity rose to 1.030 put on my brew belt....FELL ASLEEP,woke up left for work came home the primary was 86 degrees...day 7 gravity was 1.030(didn`t move over night) added the last feeding (why) rose to 1.036(belt was removed)...over the next 2 days not much action going on...and the gravity dropped .002 both days....so I think I`m stuck,never happened to me before....I`m thinking I have 2 options...try to restart the fermentation or go the way of a port...lol...I just racked it into a 3 gallon carboy,it`s up to the shoulder ...for protection...get a bubble every 20 seconds or so...tasted it, fizz on your tongue ,doesn`t taste spoiled,but doesn`t taste good either...so I need some help or suggestions....Thanks Rick
