- I had planned on making another video for this week, but my homebrew fermentation has ground to a halt!
So let's talk about what a stuck fermentation is and how we can fix it!

stuck fermentation:
Surprised to hear your views dropped off with the live streams. I personally find them a great platform and appreciate your effort in reading the comments and shooting from the hip when you are live. Your channel is great with new info there is a lot of old videos around the traps your content is fresh and delivered in an educational and fun way. I was on fb the other day and your channel came up as a recommendation for preparing oak. Being new myself to this gig and having the opportunity to ask questions during live streams is gold.
I've had numerous stuck fermentations. The best advice I can add to this discussion is to keep the wort circulating. Agitation is key. And also, that it doesn't overheat. I have no issue that way in winter and living in Canada. I use a large plastic pail with a fish tank pump running 24/7 dunked into it, and plastic cover with folded towel. It's not a perfect seal, but doesn't matter. Never had a stuck fermentation since.
Had my first stuck fermentation last week. Thanks for the info. Was able to get it back on track.
New to the hobby and trying sugar wash for the first time. Wasn't a good start but thanks to you I realized I pitched my yeast to hot and had little to no act but now it's going good! So thank you and keep up the great work! Fyi I'm probably going to binge watch all your videos 👍
Been using aquarium heater,preset to 78f,use turbo to restart stuck fermentation, or add water. Learned water and thermostat from George!!!
Thanks for this vid Jesse, I'm having this problem a lot lately starting 1070-1065 and slowing to an absolute crawl around 1020 and it's been driving me up the wall! As a newbie I appreciate the insight and instruction. PS, somehow my gen 2 UJSM turned out surprisingly well even though I screwed up a bit (forgot to do a muppet check). Gen 3 will be better! Thanks and cheers!
Thanks for sharing Bro.
I kind of thought as much but thanks to a guy I'd love to share a beard-soaked beer with, my stopped fermentation seems to have kicked back into action.
Thanks booze-dwarf! My first all grain mash was stalling. Checked the optimal temp for DADY and I was way low. Put a heat pad under the bucket and a space heater in the room with the mash and slowly warmed it up. Still in the process now but seems to be picking up steam.
Great Video as always TYSM for the Vids Sir I learn something every time!
I gave up on sugar washes for that reason. Yeast love grain. Even a wash 2/3 cane sugar seems to work well. Also yeast starters help.
good one.
I use a fish tank heater in my 25 litre (6 gallon) sugar wash. Just pre set the temp on the heater to 22 degrees centigrade, and drop it into the wash. It needs to be weighed down with a heavy stainless kitchen knife tied to it though. Iv run several like this with different yeasts. All been good and ready within 10 days ish. Hope this helps , also a kids sleeping bag around the tub might help if it’s cold winter.
Since you had a negative for the live feed on Facebook, here is the counter I would love to see you move the live feeds to Facebook, it is an accessible platform and works well for live feeds with accurate notices. Plus this will drive people to have a peek at your Facebook platform. Great to see a video on a problem, I tire of everything is perfect videos, this is a great logical step by step process to figuring out the issue, though showing a PH test would have been very helpful. In addition, instead of a external heater why not use an Aquarium heater tube?
ha great video u did a wonderful job thanks for this video, I made some mead and it turned out way to sweet how can i fix this thanks
It is usually low temperature during fermentation from what I have seen unless the yeast pack is bad. The strangest thing I seen was after 21 days no lees or dead yeast at the bottom after bubbles for 20 days. added heat 79 F and not much activity. but the wine must still taste too sweet to complete fermentations.
Hey Jesse, great stuff!
Hi
awesome video!
