Brewing a British bitter using Wyeast 1098
OG: 1.059
Temp: 66-68F
8 days passed and there appeared no activity and I was at 1.030
I aerated it by shaking and after 2 days I am still at 1.030
Pitch another pack of 1098 or…?
Thank you

Are you using a hydrometer or a refractometer to take your readings? I’m just making sure you have done the corrections that are need for using a refractometer. Using the reading you gave us, if you used a refractometer, you are sitting around 1.011-1.011.
If you used a hydrometer, can you post the recipe and your process? That can help generate ideas from the gang.
Thanks!

Good catch! Thank you.
A refractometer.
The first time I’ve used it
Seems I am good to rack then?
Is there a calculator that I may refer to so that I may compensate for the alcohol in the liquid and still get a reasonably accurate reading?
Cheers! (literally, now
IME and depending on the quality of the refractometer, even with proper conversion there is still a possibility of an off reading, best to use a hydrometer when checking for FG IMO.
